About this project

This six-story project features residential units, live/work spaces, and community-focused commercial areas, with a "pixelated" facade inspired by African and African American textiles.

We used natural lighting to highlight the facade's three-dimensionality, especially in corner shots.
A sunset frontal view captures the project's full scale with a mix of natural and artificial lighting.

Our visuals emphasize the urban context and predominantly African American community, ensuring cultural representation. We also designed the storefronts, including a vibrant daytime bar scene at the corner.
