Chicago New Construction Residence
This project sites two modern units on one Chicago lot. The units are shifted in both plan and section to provide direct access to the street and shared carport while allowing each homeowner a visually distinct and contextually sensitive façade. A harmonious living arrangement is created between the two units by mitigating floor noise transmittance and providing each unit with “top floor” access to roof decks and natural light. The stacked-and-staggered unit logic results in efficient modern living spaces arranged on compact floor plates with double-height interior volumes.
