Allen Apartments

Allen Apartments recreates the facade of a severely distressed historic building with an all-new structure behind containing ten residential units.

The project features a distinctive mixture of historic and contemporary construction, with a variety of outdoor spaces of differing scales, giving each unit a unique experience. The massing respects the historic structure by gradually increasing in size as it recedes from the street. The building also incorporates innovative, environmentally-friendly mechanical systems such as high-efficiency heat pumps and solar hot water.
