The ‘Equinox Dwelling’ project, located in Buffalo, NY sits at the center of an astrological phenomenon. It converges on the bisection of Allen street (once Allen farms) and Delaware street. The phenomena that inspired the orientation of the structure, known as the equinox, directed farmer Allen’s cattle along a path that eventually led to the formation of Allen street. The Grid formed by the convergence of the astrological and institutional inspired the shape of the massing for this multi-use apartment complex. Each level of the structure is designed to provide maximum sunlight and outdoor balcony space for each unit, with two central cores that splits the structure into thirds. The ground floor consists of a market, inspired by the produce that the land beneath once provided to farmer Allen. The apartment spaces above range from one-to-two story dwellings for both single studio living, as well as family living.
