The project seeks to highlight the identity of the up-and-coming neighborhood by transforming an old multi-family house into a structure with an eye-catching exterior. The brick skin-pops through the area’s narrow streets, becoming a visual staple that provides the locals with a sense of familiarity, comfort, and excitement. By incorporating new ideas, concepts, and activities into the dense urban fabric, the project enriches the region’s classic look while harmoniously coexisting with its commercialization.
