Music Collab
Design an 18 unit apartment complex with a public program in downtown Buffalo at the intersection of Delaware Ave. and W. Chippewa St.

Mass + Infill
Throughout the design inhabitable vertical structure provides private
space, while the interstitial space between these cores is used as shared space.

Unit Design
The private spaces exist within the mass. The shared spaces
occupy the space between the mass. While the size of the private space remains consistent within each core, the size of the infill space is flexible in order to accommodate varying occupancy needs. Each bedroom is capable of function as a musical practice space for the residents. The acoustic insulation and concrete make for an isolated acoustic space. The context to the site is an entertainment district. In order to create a strong bond to the community the residence houses people with musical interest. While the public program is a music retail space.
