DUPLEXCITY | affordable housing

East Liberty, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

The theme of this project is porosity. In a macro scale, my project aims to address urban porosity and in a micro scale, my focus is on the porosity of light and space. The porosity of light is shown on the facade, and the spatial porosity is formed by the diagonal arrangement of objects.
Situated at the crossroad, the south corner of the design aims to open up the busy transit corner to pedestrians and the neighborhood, while having decent space for the office building. For interior, pushing main circulation to the east and north edge gives maximum fexibility to the south and east, which opens up the office space.
