The Urban Housing Studio provided insights into comprehensive urban housing design, incorporating adherence to relevant codes. The initial iteration lacked a specific site, while the subsequent version was tailored to a designated location in Boston. The design features a central courtyard, offering versatile functionality, flanked by mirrored units. The four-story structure accommodates studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. Circulation is facilitated through unit connections, featuring stairs leading to a double-loaded corridor on the second floor and a single-loaded corridor on the third floor. Internal stairs within each third-floor unit grant access to the fourth floor. Additionally, a ground-floor passage enhances site circulation and provides bike access to racks situated at the courtyard’s center as well as roof gardens on the north and south units.
