Memorial Drive Townhouse
Client: N/A
Budget: N/A
Located at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Estoria, the concrete remains of a stalled condo development provide a constant reminder to passersby of the boom then bust cycle that so enveloped the Memorial Drive corridor over the last ten years. The stretch between 75/85 and Moreland was on the cusp of radically transforming itself when the economy tanked. Walking along the street one can feel how close it came to having the same kind of rejuvenation that Midtown West has enjoyed over the last few years. The shells of buildings waiting for the right price and the empty lots begging for a pro-forma that works are fertile ground for architectural explorations. This projects looks at the townhouse typology and how it might add a pedestrian scale to this busy thoroughfare.
