The new dorm is the first stage of a masterplan to reclaim a series of urban spaces. The building uses materiality to relate to contextual elements on adjacent streets: on the north and south faces, the stacked bond brick facade serves as the tectonic glue to the site, using its indentations to produce tectonic depth, while on the eastern and western faces the cement fiber facade monumentalizes the vernacular shingle system, celebrating the aesthetic of thinness. A hybrid steel/CLT structure allows for 9’ high raw wood ceilings. Small studio spaces are woven throughout the building.
