Located in Halifax’s long-established West-End, a bold dark gable emerges within a quiet residential neighbourhood. The Armcrescent Residence represents an architectural investigation towards increasing urban density on the Halifax Peninsula, a growing need and topic of discussion in the city over the past few years. The exterior massing and form aims to modernize traditional architectural forms found throughout Halifax’s historical neighbourhoods. The interior is organized to offer unique individualized spaces for all ages by providing multiple opportunities for gathering and seclusion.
