// Situated within downtown Kent, Ohio, this multifamily residential project investigates the aggregation of individual dwelling units into a larger architectural composition. Beginning with the design of a singular residential unit, the project explores how repetition, variation, and spatial organization can inform the development of a cohesive building at an urban scale. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between pattern and environmental performance, utilizing solar orientation and daylighting strategies to inform the arrangement of units, façade articulation, and distribution of natural light throughout the building. Through the systematic aggregation of individual components, the project seeks to establish a unified architectural expression while maintaining the spatial and environmental qualities of each residence.
