A New Model for Equitable/Sustainable Housing: A pair of six-story,all-electric residential buildings delivers 140 mixed-income apartments on Chicago’s Near West Side,transforming long-vacant land into a vibrant, people-centered streetscape. Each building carries a distinct architectural “thumbprint” expressed through carefully composed,panelized façades. In dialogue with the speed of the arterial road,smooth black panels emerge from beneath grooved white panels in pixelated patterns, generating rhythm and variation. The result is a replicable,resilient, and equitable model for future housing.
