Big Shingles
Facade design for housing in Charlotte, NC
In construction, Fall 2023
This facade design utilizes North Carolina’s strict Transit Oriented Development guidelines to develop a system, and therefore reinterprets constraints as design opportunities. The shingle tectonic acknowledges the vernacular of the region, while the corrugated steel nods to the industrial history of the site. Shingles lap not only in plan but in section, like eyelashes hanging over windows below.
