Ironside proposes a hybrid living model that assembles new townhouses above existing ground-floor studios, introducing a layered domestic condition at the edge of a neighborhood in transition. Drawing on the district’s dated glamour and ongoing decay, a fluted outer skin forms a textured perimeter, responding to its bordering condition while catching light, shadow, and air across the façade and through the project, with breezeways that encourage movement, encounter, and visual porosity. A sweeping halo defines the profile, framing the sky and shaping a series of rooftop recreational spaces. These upper terraces extend the domestic realm outward, offering shared and private zones that oscillate between shelter and exposure, infrastructure and atmosphere.
