Volume of Inhabitation

A two unit dwelling in Washington Park, Rhode Island

Tasked to design a multifamily residence in Washington Park, Providence, on a 3,200 SF lot, I prioritized six actions for human inhabitation: a place to sleep, a place to work, a place to wash, a place to eat, and a place to socialize. The two units interlock with each other and create simultaneous moments of presence and absence through transparent mask facades. The units sit diagonally on the site, following a diagonal grain.
