The program was extremely unique: Two urban lots, across the street from each other with the opportunity to develop them together. The intention was to create two light filled retreats that welcomed people to a neighborhood. A residential Gateway. The projects are located on two urban lots in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. Both lots are corner lots which allowed for greater exposure and more opportunity for natural light. The first floor of each building contained the residential lobby, an indoor parking garage and a small commercial space at street level. Floors two, three and four were to contain two residential units each and each floor would repeat, with the fourth floor units given roof decks. Solution The design solution started with an urban box and the notion of “transparency” and how to make the residential buildings “light” in feeling and awash with natural light. In addition, the two buildings were designed to appear as mirror images but closer examination reveals subtle differences. The first floor level is pulled back on both sides to give hierarchy to the residences above. The residences are designed using very simple strategies. The exterior is mainly clad in only two materials; glass and cedar “fins”. The cedar fins serve as physical connector that extend not only from the second floor to the fourth floor, but from the interior to the exterior. They serve as elements pulling all the residences together to read as a single composition. The cedar fins extend to the interiors to create subtle contrasting surfaces and blur the boundary between the exterior and the interior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1575502753947-PIBWJO76N9KGNETGVWQ5/1+2154-7+Day+3.jpg 2154-57 Division Mixed-Use Location: Chicago, IL Photos: Marty Peters "Gateway" Program These custom residences were created out of the basic elements in architecture-light, shadow, massing, color, transition and how we experience these things.

Allowing natural light to penetrate the interiors of the residence while providing privacy was essential. The solution was to create open, fluid interior spaces with openings on the southern side for directing daylight. The exteriors material palette of cast-in-place concrete and vertical ebony zinc panels counters the lightness of the interior spaces. In some instances the exterior finishes find their way to the interiors, blurring the lines between the two. The residences roof consists of a private office overlooking a fully landscaped green roof environment.

Its corner location, across from the historic Water Tower is highly prominent, but everyone knows it as the "Walgreen's building", the ground floor tenant.

Photos: Marty Peters 2008 Residential Architect Design Award Program This custom residence was created out of the basic elements in architecture-light, shadow, massing, color, transition and how we experience these things. The house was to be a collection of light-play in a tight urban setting. A residential Box Set. The residence is located on a tight urban lot in Chicago's older Bucktown neighborhood. It is for a young urban couple with three young children and a Mother-in-Law. The residence faces north. The size of the house was to be approximately 6500 square feet in area and comprise of 4 levels. The garden level required an office for the owners, a guest suite, den for the kids, an exercise room and spa bath. The first floor required a living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. The second floor was for the master bedroom suite, two kid’s rooms and an open reading loft. The third floor required an entertaining room which includes a kitchen and a full roof deck with views of the city skyline. The owners also requested a series of exterior spaces located on different levels; courtyard, garage roof deck and house roof deck. Solution The design solution started with two cubes, one opaque and one transparent. Both cubes are paired together to create an “L” shape and define an inner courtyard. All rooms face the inner courtyard. Like a Box Set, the transparent cube collects the majority of the light for the residence and allows for views through the residence from the street and other areas of the home. The opaque cube accommodates the more private functions of the residence. This residence is designed using very simple strategies. The exterior is clad in only two materials; white ground face masonry and cedar. The white masonry creates open and light filled interiors while the cedar is used as natural, softening accent. Both materials extend to the interiors to create subtle contrasting surfaces and blur the boundary between the exterior and the interior. The second floor ceiling of the transparent cube is clad in cedar that extends through the house, projecting out each side, providing sun protection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1416336594862-P2RGQLZGGDWSSWIDCD2D/1-2041-Day-Front-1.jpg Bucktown One Single-Family Location: Chicago, IL Photos: Marty Peters 2008 Residential Architect Design Award Program This custom residence was created out of the basic elements in architecture-light, shadow, massing, color, transition and how we experience these things. The house was to be a collection of light-play in a tight urban setting. A residential Box Set. The residence is located on a tight urban lot in Chicago's older Bucktown neighborhood. It is for a young urban couple with three young children and a Mother-in-Law. The residence faces north. The size of the house was to be approximately 6500 square feet in area and comprise of 4 levels. The garden level required an office for the owners, a guest suite, den for the kids, an exercise room and spa bath. The first floor required a living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. The second floor was for the master bedroom suite, two kid’s rooms and an open reading loft. The third floor required an entertaining room which includes a kitchen and a full roof deck with views of the city skyline. The owners also requested a series of exterior spaces located on different levels; courtyard, garage roof deck and house roof deck. Solution The design solution started with two cubes, one opaque and one transparent. Both cubes are paired together to create an “L” shape and define an inner courtyard.

The second floor ceiling of the transparent cube is clad in cedar that extends through the house, projecting out each side, providing sun protection. https://www.studiodwell.com/1617-wolcott daily 0.75 2014-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1416336894528-CX3SQPJCOIVSRNQ9EDIZ/1617wolcottextday.jpg 1617 Wolcott Single-Family Location: Chicago, IL Photos: Marty Peters Program This custom residence was created out of the basic elements in architecture-light, shadow, massing, color, transition and how we experience these things. The owner requested one thing; “…create a home that no matter my mood or frame of mind, it makes me forget even my worst day in calming surroundings filled with light”. The intention was to create a light filled retreat in a tight urban setting. A residential Light Box. The residence is located on a narrow urban lot in Chicago's older Bucktown neighborhood. It is for a young urban couple. The residence faces east and is bound on its north and south by neighboring buildings as close as three feet, rising four stories. The size of the house was to be approximately 6000 square feet in area and comprise of 4 levels. Because the residence was to be four stories, the main living level was located on the second floor, taking advantage of the garage roof as exterior urban space. The first level required an office for the owners, a den, an exercise room and spa bath. The second floor required a living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. The third floor was for the bedrooms and an open reading loft. The fourth floor was for the master bedroom suite, and the roof level was for entertaining, including a full roof deck with views of the city skyline. The owners also requested a series of exterior spaces located on different levels; courtyard, garage roof deck and house roof deck. Solution The design solution started with an urban box and the notion of “light” and how to move light throughout the house. The box was given carved openings on the ends in addition to a large hidden inner light court that introduces natural sunlight into the center of the residence. Because the entire residence is conceived of as one solid rectangle, openings in it and carved areas shift its scale, drawing attention to its subtle detail. Windows for different rooms were grouped to strengthen the shift in scale. The first floor was also set back, carved and clad in dark masonry to give hierarchy to its upper white masonry clad main levels. The masonry is carefully articulated in a stacked bond pattern reinforcing the orthogonal nature of the residence. This residence is designed using very simple strategies. The exterior is mainly clad in only two materials; white masonry and cedar, with a small amount charcoal masonry used at the first floor base. The white masonry creates open and light filled interiors while the cedar is used as natural, softening accent.

New Typology. New Museum. New City. The forward thinking Museum of today has to do more than display Art. It has to inspire. Inspiration comes from our world made up of plants, animals and minerals. All combine to influence, shape and inspire our life's experiences. Our museum combines formerly separate typologies into one new complex. The New National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design at Vestbanen will form a complex to house and display treasured art, an observatory that looks out to the Fjord, City Hall, the Akershus fortress, the Opera House and the new Munch Museum, a rooftop botanical sculptural Sky Garden of indigenous native species and an urban plaza terrain that blurs the boundary between the city and the Museum, between the visitor and the Oslo’s vibrant inhabitants. A new cultural complex for inspiration. This new typological complex will energize the existing Landmarks, consolidating the qualities of the open urban spaces and establish Oslo as the New Modern City. The primary goal of this project is to redefine the current definition of the Museum while creating a relationship with an existing city full of rich cultural heritage. The new Museum will not only represent a permanent house to a collection of treasure art but will also engage its city and its people. The new Museum complex will be open to all and represent all forms of expression. The project will fill a vital patch in Oslo’s urban fabric and energize a new cultural center. The first and most important element of the new Museum complex will be the Plazas that extend existing outdoor urban spaces and create new ones that all blend onto the main floor level of the Museum. This extended and undulating landscape will blur the boundaries between the new and old buildings and between the exterior and interior spaces. The new Entry Plaza and Heritage Plaza are open and inviting. As a gesture of connection between people and art, a third plaza is created, called the Government Plaza. This plaza is also tied to the new Museum complex and encourages circulation and involvement with the future government building. In an approach to further redefine the modern Museum complex, this project will offer elements not see in typical Museums. First will be an Observatory. Given the prominent location and the sweeping views of City Hall, the Mainline and Local Station Buildings, the Akershus Fortress and the Fjord, it seems important to offer these views to people. The spectacular views are sure to inspire the young and old. From the Observatory is connected another element not seen in typical Museums, a Sculptural Sky Garden. The Sculptural Sky Garden will serve as a sanctuary consisting of native indigenous plant species to Norway and serve as a backdrop to a spectacular sculpture park. The goal of the new Museum complex is to inspire. Nature, whether plants, animals, minerals, or the sky with its light and colors, have all served to inspire people and art. This new complex will serve as the catalyst.

The new Museum complex will be open to all and represent all forms of expression. The project will fill a vital patch in Oslo’s urban fabric and energize a new cultural center. The first and most important element of the new Museum complex will be the Plazas that extend existing outdoor urban spaces and create new ones that all blend onto the main floor level of the Museum. This extended and undulating landscape will blur the boundaries between the new and old buildings and between the exterior and interior spaces. The new Entry Plaza and Heritage Plaza are open and inviting. As a gesture of connection between people and art, a third plaza is created, called the Government Plaza. This plaza is also tied to the new Museum complex and encourages circulation and involvement with the future government building. In an approach to further redefine the modern Museum complex, this project will offer elements not see in typical Museums. First will be an Observatory. Given the prominent location and the sweeping views of City Hall, the Mainline and Local Station Buildings, the Akershus Fortress and the Fjord, it seems important to offer these views to people. The spectacular views are sure to inspire the young and old. From the Observatory is connected another element not seen in typical Museums, a Sculptural Sky Garden. The Sculptural Sky Garden will serve as a sanctuary consisting of native indigenous plant species to Norway and serve as a backdrop to a spectacular sculpture park. The goal of the new Museum complex is to inspire. Nature, whether plants, animals, minerals, or the sky with its light and colors, have all served to inspire people and art. This new complex will serve as the catalyst.

The traditional residential arrangement of public and private spaces was inverted, which allowed for transparency through the house and spectacular elevated views from the upper level. The upper level has an expansive cantilevered terrace and a roof suspended over the lower level, which shades the south and west side during times of high sun exposure. The lower bedroom level is nestled in the sloping earth, providing privacy security, and an intimate connection to the site. To minimize the footprint on the site, the house and garage are physically separated and then connected by a suspended tube element that is clad in ipe wood. This enclosed tube is the only structure on the upper level and it houses the fireplace, pantry, and kitchen components. Adjacent to this enclosed tube is an open glass-lined bridge similarly clad in ipe that floats visitors from the landscape to the front door. The exterior consists of a simple and modern palette of sustainable and highly durable materials. The base is exposed concrete, the upper level clad in charcoal anodized aluminum panels, and both use accents of ipe wood to provide visual balance. The interior finishes include stained walnut flooring, ipe, glass railings, and exposed steel stairs that descend into a 2-story light filled art gallery. The master bath is bathed in natural light, which pours in from several discrete sources that reflect off of the tiled floors and the partial height exposed concrete wall that separates the bedroom and bathroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1417821094045-WYNQLFC0RC6E3OZLBFMU/RiverView-3.jpg River View House - Riverview House Single-Family Home Location: Wayne, IL Photos: Marty Peters Project Description: The program called for a house that responded to its site with a compact footprint as well a design that framed views of the natural-grassed sloped terrain down to the Fox River, not only from within the residence, but through the exterior.

This allowed for transparency through the house and through the site. As one approaches the house, the glass faced east and west facades allow for unobstructed views through the site and to the river. The shape of the forms were “developed” to maintain privacy from adjacent neighboring houses, creating feeling of a house alone in the environment/terrain/nature The functions of public spaces were placed on the upper lever to take advantage of the views. The private functions were placed on the lower level creating privacy and protection, yet still allowing for unobstructed and private views towards the Fox River. The house and garage elements are separated and connected via bridges that span the site with little impact, allowing nature to run underneath. The bridge tunnel penetrates the main living level to become the fireplace element. The upper level is cantilevered both out towards the river and to the north to create a delicate and tenuous connection hovering over the natural landscape of the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1417821165040-6R326P9LB7AKPCF633UD/RiverView-5.jpg River View House - Riverview House Single-Family Home Location: Wayne, IL Photos: Marty Peters Project Description: The program called for a house that responded to its site with a compact footprint as well a design that framed views of the natural-grassed sloped terrain down to the Fox River, not only from within the residence, but through the exterior.

The upper level has an expansive cantilevered terrace and a roof suspended over the lower level, which shades the south and west side during times of high sun exposure. The lower bedroom level is nestled in the sloping earth, providing privacy security, and an intimate connection to the site. To minimize the footprint on the site, the house and garage are physically separated and then connected by a suspended tube element that is clad in ipe wood. This enclosed tube is the only structure on the upper level and it houses the fireplace, pantry, and kitchen components. Adjacent to this enclosed tube is an open glass-lined bridge similarly clad in ipe that floats visitors from the landscape to the front door. The exterior consists of a simple and modern palette of sustainable and highly durable materials. The base is exposed concrete, the upper level clad in charcoal anodized aluminum panels, and both use accents of ipe wood to provide visual balance. The interior finishes include stained walnut flooring, ipe, glass railings, and exposed steel stairs that descend into a 2-story light filled art gallery.

The residence is located on a tight urban lot in Chicago's older Bucktown neighborhood. It is bounded by an existing masonry building to the south and alleys to the north and west. It was for a young urban couple with two young children. The residence faces east. The size of the house was to be approximately 5000 square feet in area and comprise of 4 levels. The garden level required an office for the owners, a theater, den for the kids, an exercise room and spa bath. The first floor required a living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. The second floor was for the two kid’s rooms, a guest room and an open reading loft. The third floor required a master bedroom suite with an entertaining room that opened to a roof deck with views of the city skyline. The owners also requested a series of exterior spaces located on different levels; courtyard, garage roof deck and house roof deck. Solution Due to its long and slender urban site, a courtyard was created in the middle of the residence, facing south. This allowed natural light to penetrate the interiors from the mid-point. To disguise the height of the home, the main living level is located at the second floor and is accessed by an ascending exterior entry sequence through this courtyard. The southern and eastern (front) facades comprise of brick, ground masonry and stained cedar. All materials display subtle shades of charcoal and black surfaces. The alley exteriors are treated as sculptural compositions in masonry to maintain privacy from vehicles and to disguise the height of the alley wall. Thin slivers that are created as a result of the intersecting masonry planes are glazed allowing gentle light to the interiors at day while creating ghostly shadows of light on the exterior masonry plains at night. In combination with natural light, exterior materials were extended to the interiors such as horizontal raked brick and ground masonry to tie the surfaces together and to provide a natural contrast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1575565436738-BFRR5DQO1AT71TXYKAVK/1748+Night+2.jpg 1748 Winchester 1748 Winchester Single-Family Home Location: Chicago, IL Photos: Marty Peters AIA Chicago 2007 Design Excellence Awards 2007 Builder's Choice Awards Residential Architect Magazine Award Residential Kitchen Award Project Description: Program This custom residence was created out of the basic elements in architecture-light, shadow, massing, color, transition and how we experience these things.

The residence is located on a tight urban lot in Chicago's older Bucktown neighborhood. It is bounded by an existing masonry building to the south and alleys to the north and west. It was for a young urban couple with two young children. The residence faces east. The size of the house was to be approximately 5000 square feet in area and comprise of 4 levels. The garden level required an office for the owners, a theater, den for the kids, an exercise room and spa bath. The first floor required a living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. The second floor was for the two kid’s rooms, a guest room and an open reading loft. The third floor required a master bedroom suite with an entertaining room that opened to a roof deck with views of the city skyline. The owners also requested a series of exterior spaces located on different levels; courtyard, garage roof deck and house roof deck. Solution Due to its long and slender urban site, a courtyard was created in the middle of the residence, facing south. This allowed natural light to penetrate the interiors from the mid-point. To disguise the height of the home, the main living level is located at the second floor and is accessed by an ascending exterior entry sequence through this courtyard. The southern and eastern (front) facades comprise of brick, ground masonry and stained cedar. All materials display subtle shades of charcoal and black surfaces. The alley exteriors are treated as sculptural compositions in masonry to maintain privacy from vehicles and to disguise the height of the alley wall.

The property is approximately 20 percent shorter than a typical Chicago lot. In addition, the property is bounded by a large multi-family building to the north, a garage tight to the lot line on the east and a noisy public alley to the south. The goal was to create an urban retreat that provided privacy, yet was filled with natural light and had an open, spacious environment. The solution called for breaking up a typical Chicago “box”, with simple yet aesthetically strong compositions-each volume defined by a different material. Rather than creating a blank wall to the alley, the architect used this façade to define the houses composition and to bring in natural light. The cubistic volumes also helped obscure the noise (and headlights) from vehicles travelling in the alley. On the interior, the house is generously lit with an abundance of natural, yet indirect light sources. It should be noted that only 25 percent of the residences windows provide actual views to the exterior. The rest are frosted or are placed out of viewing height, either tight to the ceiling or tight to the floor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1416509851764-SBSRPM1V8Y33C2PWIGPL/Wolcott7.jpg 915 N Wolcott Single-Family Location: Chicago, IL Photos: Marty Peters 2005 AIA Chicago Design Excellence Awards: Citation of Merit This custom house required special attention to its unusually tight urban property.

The goal was to create an urban retreat that provided privacy, yet was filled with natural light and had an open, spacious environment. The solution called for breaking up a typical Chicago “box”, with simple yet aesthetically strong compositions-each volume defined by a different material. Rather than creating a blank wall to the alley, the architect used this façade to define the houses composition and to bring in natural light. The cubistic volumes also helped obscure the noise (and headlights) from vehicles travelling in the alley. On the interior, the house is generously lit with an abundance of natural, yet indirect light sources. It should be noted that only 25 percent of the residences windows provide actual views to the exterior. The rest are frosted or are placed out of viewing height, either tight to the ceiling or tight to the floor.

Etch - House Etch Single-Family Home Location: Chicago, IL Photos: Marty Peters   Project Description: House Etch is a private residence for a professional couple with kids located on a corner lot in the Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago. Given that one of them is of Venezuelan origin, they had a strong connection to the early mid-century modern aesthetic of Latin American architecture where ornament made way for interest in volumes and planes. Drawing on the visionary work of that time from architects such as Niemeyer, Villanueva and Le Corbusier, the owners looked to explore those past radical forms and materials with a fresh interpretation. This formed their vision for their Chicago residence. In response to their vision and borrowing from the material use of the early Latin American modern architecture, the exterior was comprised of board formed concrete walls. Stained cedar was then used to balance the concrete. The concrete which forms the base of the house defines the public spaces, while the stained cedar clad upper mass defines the private spaces along with other accents of the house. The two materials have a reciprocal relationship; wood boards that form the surface for the concrete below, leave an etched tracing of the wood that formed them, while the exposed cedar displays the true material itself. Both etched on the surface. The main entry sequence of the residence offers the visitor a dramatic view of the cantilevered cedar mass that defines a private, protected exterior terrace off the main level, but hidden from the street or entry door. Once inside the house, the first floor erupts into a light-filled seemingly transparent volume. Windows wrap the house allowing open and controlled views to the exterior tree lined streets. This main level mostly comprises of white drywall surfaces with accents of the board formed exterior concrete extending inside to form the cantilevered fireplace and other select walls. Other features on this level include a colorful mudroom connection from the garage and yard and a hidden homework room concealed by 3 sliding panels painted by a local graffiti artist. The protected entertainment terrace is accessible from the entire main level, of which then transitions down to a large landscaped and playful yard which includes amenities such as a whirlpool, a basketball court and an in-ground trampoline for their kids. The upper private level, accessed from an open riser steel and glass staircase consists of the bedrooms and a reading lounge that opens up to the living and dining rooms below, acting as an extension of those rooms including stunning views to the exterior. The composition of volumes and planes scored with ribbons of windows make by passers stop and take notice-both day and night on this active residential street corner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1556145069149-7KMHY8VDCAO19I964B14/3+House+Etch+BC+2019.jpg House Etch - House Etch Single-Family Home Location: Chicago, IL Photos: Marty Peters   Project Description: House Etch is a private residence for a professional couple with kids located on a corner lot in the Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago.

In response to their vision and borrowing from the material use of the early Latin American modern architecture, the exterior was comprised of board formed concrete walls.

The concrete which forms the base of the house defines the public spaces, while the stained cedar clad upper mass defines the private spaces along with other accents of the house. The two materials have a reciprocal relationship; wood boards that form the surface for the concrete below, leave an etched tracing of the wood that formed them, while the exposed cedar displays the true material itself. Both etched on the surface. The main entry sequence of the residence offers the visitor a dramatic view of the cantilevered cedar mass that defines a private, protected exterior terrace off the main level, but hidden from the street or entry door. Once inside the house, the first floor erupts into a light-filled seemingly transparent volume. Windows wrap the house allowing open and controlled views to the exterior tree lined streets. This main level mostly comprises of white drywall surfaces with accents of the board formed exterior concrete extending inside to form the cantilevered fireplace and other select walls. Other features on this level include a colorful mudroom connection from the garage and yard and a hidden homework room concealed by 3 sliding panels painted by a local graffiti artist. The protected entertainment terrace is accessible from the entire main level, of which then transitions down to a large landscaped and playful yard which includes amenities such as a whirlpool, a basketball court and an in-ground trampoline for their kids. The upper private level, accessed from an open riser steel and glass staircase consists of the bedrooms and a reading lounge that opens up to the living and dining rooms below, acting as an extension of those rooms including stunning views to the exterior. The composition of volumes and planes scored with ribbons of windows make by passers stop and take notice-both day and night on this active residential street corner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1512253730792-6OIDPVKCKPII526D1498/13+House+Etch_307+AIA+Housing.jpg House Etch - House Etch Single-Family Home Location: Chicago, IL Photos: Marty Peters   Project Description: House Etch is a private residence for a professional couple with kids located on a corner lot in the Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago.

This neighborhood has a strong sense of history; there are currently mansions that remain as reminders of a different era. As a result, it was of utmost importance that these new townhomes be designed to look as though they belong there. Reinvigorating this abandoned neighborhood required being extremely mindful of its history and scale while creating opportunities to elevate the urban landscape and introduce modern living. Thoughtful decision-making drove not only the size and location of these buildings – materials and the experience of “being there” were all curated to both complement and modernize the neighborhood. The first floor is raised above ground level to match the existing buildings, while planters and landscaping are also elevated to bring nature closer to the living space. This fosters a connection between the homeowner and the outside environment. Large expanses of glass are used to bring light and views of the city in. Simple brick was selected in colors that tie into the palette of the existing historic buildings. Lastly, the scale of the townhomes was kept in harmony with surrounding buildings so as not to overwhelm the streetscape. Construction is estimated to begin in 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1708717242516-0DNUGFJ50I6VAMIOBE6W/image-asset.jpeg Brush Park Townhomes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1708717283180-Z1WVNJHT7M470K5YV52J/image-asset.jpeg Brush Park Townhomes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1468247307564-O30W7QYHQQYRZEZAVEOS/01-location.jpg Brush Park Townhomes - Brush Park Townhomes Multi-Family Development Location: Detroit, MI Renderings: Studio Dwell 2016 Congress on New Urbanism Grand Prize Winner Project Description: The Brush Park townhomes are part of an unprecedented 8.4-acre, 47-parcel development in Detroit’s historic Brush Park neighborhood. This neighborhood’s strong historical presence provided opportunities for showcasing modern architectural elements that are inspired by existing historical elements. Reinvigorating this neighborhood required being extremely mindful of its history and scale while creating ways to elevate the urban landscape and introduce modern living. The townhouse buildings are mindfully scaled to provide a rhythm that mimics the existing single family Victorian homes in the area. This scaling is achieved through two methods: the main townhouse group is split into smaller groups using courtyards, which creates a deep shadow line between them. Next, the resulting smaller groups of townhouses are pulled further back. The result of these two actions creates a rhythm and spacing along the street that responds to the previous historic buildings. On a smaller scale, finely tuned details are used throughout to echo the detailing from the existing mansions. Every townhouse includes a raised porch or terrace type element. The entry stairs are combined within these terraces to provide protected recessed entries to the homes. The first floor floats above grade at this raised level to match the existing buildings, while planters and landscaping are also elevated to bring nature closer to the living space. This fosters a connection between the homeowner and the outside environment. The townhouses primarily utilize two brick colors; a chocolate brown and a lighter ash color. The chocolate brown brick responds to the existing red and red-brown brick colors commonly used previously in the area, while the lighter ash colored brick not only provides a contrast to the chocolate brown brick, but is a nod to the limestone sills, cornices and decorative work commonly found in those older homes. The use of the two brick colors also helps to break up the proportion and massing of the townhouse groups along the streetscape. The brick itself is of a velour or “wire cut” type of brick finish typically seen in older houses. This texture provides a subtle relief and finish that compliments the smoother nature of the windows and frames. With the sidewalks remaining close to the curb and the townhouses set back, expanses of landscape can be introduced. The landscaping combines grasses, shrubs, and trees that are indigenous to the neighborhood. Furthermore, each townhouse building will provide some form of built-in landscaped planter, clad in decorative hardscape or brick that create a connection from the house to the landscaped exterior. Depending on where they are being viewed from the street, the townhouses provide for both symmetrical and asymmetrical interpretations, creating a lively façade. The townhouses respect the historical neighborhood while understanding and addressing the needs of the current user. However, regardless of the time, there will always be common elements of a home that will continue in tradition. These townhouses celebrate and re-appropriate these commonalities such as the landscaped yards, inviting entries, exterior porches and terraces, large windows and rooftops, all with the goal of encouraging a close-knit, safe neighborhood. Construction is estimated to begin in 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1708717316050-DTQTEOKL6ZB55N20DUQF/image-asset.jpeg Brush Park Townhomes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1708717696682-QWPORKLRP26G51Y7ANIC/image-asset.jpeg Brush Park Townhomes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1467729754425-6K1WE88EXAEHZQN8FFNQ/TH1-East.jpg Brush Park Townhomes - Townhomes, Group 1 Multi-Family Development Location: Detroit, MI Renderings: Studio Dwell 2016 Congress on New Urbanism Grand Prize Winner Project Description: The Brush Park townhomes are an exercise in respectful development. This neighborhood has a strong sense of history; there are currently mansions that remain as reminders of a different era. As a result, it was of utmost importance that these new townhomes be designed to look as though they belong there. Reinvigorating this abandoned neighborhood required being extremely mindful of its history and scale while creating opportunities to elevate the urban landscape and introduce modern living. Thoughtful decision-making drove not only the size and location of these buildings – materials and the experience of “being there” were all curated to both complement and modernize the neighborhood. The first floor is raised above ground level to match the existing buildings, while planters and landscaping are also elevated to bring nature closer to the living space. This fosters a connection between the homeowner and the outside environment. Large expanses of glass are used to bring light and views of the city in. Simple brick was selected in colors that tie into the palette of the existing historic buildings. Lastly, the scale of the townhomes was kept in harmony with surrounding buildings so as not to overwhelm the streetscape. Construction is estimated to begin in 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54637a79e4b056b758896edc/1708717360676-86K5PEOM0JWCE6GZXV9L/image-asset.jpeg Brush Park Townhomes
