9 Convent Ave

This housing project is a mixed-use residential complex that is designed to support and empower its tenants, local makers, and creative entrepreneurs in the pursuit of building a cohesive community centered around the dynamic relationship between housing and open creative workspaces. Comprised of 9 individual mass timber towers, with each assigned to one function, housing, making and circulation, the intersections that are created brings an opportunity for a porosity between life and creative endeavors. In order to highlight the internal mass timber structure, the internal towers are encased behind glass mullion system. An additional mass timber envelope echoes the internal tower, creating balconies that circulate around each building and encasing these balconies are an operable metal louver system. The deliberate duality of material, structurally and through the facade, further reinforce the formal structural and social entanglement between programs. Crystallized into a dynamic mass, the tower becomes a mechanism to nurture interaction, creative endeavor and enhancement across the individual, the site, and the broader West Harlem community.
