unit breakdown in module
this project works to fill the missing middle between undergraduate dormitories and off-campus apartments for graduate-level students. it also utilizes the missing middle, highly dense, walk-up housing building typology, which contains up to twelve units and utilizes a single stair.
project statistics
unit types
the module is designed with a "crack" along the East-West axis, which many of the units cross over to become split level. this split allows the units to seem more expansive, and have multiple exposures, it also creates a clear separation between living and sleeping areas. each module is composed of seven units with three distinct types, from a two-bed flat to a five-bedroom apartment which spans 3-half levels.
site axonometric
site plan
this site is currently a parking lot used by faculty on Northeastern's campus. the design covers both sides of the street, and the street wall is layered with different privacy layers, from the public lobby adjacent to the sidewalk to the faces of recessed units. the design leaves the south edges of the site as a park which can be shared between the graduate students and the adjacent undergraduate dormitory.
