// Situated within Cleveland’s historic Ohio City neighborhood, this twelve-unit residential development investigates the integration of increased density into an existing streetscape characterized by mid-19th and early-20th-century single-family houses. Through the repetition, stacking, and compression of reductive house forms, the building establishes a familiar domestic scale while accommodating a larger multifamily program. Its aggregated massing seeks to visually defer the apparent density of the development, mediating between the surrounding residential fabric and a distinctly contemporary architectural expression. A restrained material palette, subtle color variations, and alternating horizontal and vertical siding further articulate the individual volumes, establishing coherence through repetition rather than ornament.
