Mixed Massing Voxel Study

This study reminds me of a sponge as a metaphor for what this block is doing to consolidate/minimize the ecological footprint...It is as if this 'sponge' soaked up all the dallas sprawl (a little 3br single family detached home, a penthouse, a 2br apt, etc ) and had them all mixed together...It still also has a little bit of the erosion/accretion in it as well...I still need to do an organic iteration (in plan at least)








Once again the cyan is office/commercial/retail
red is 500sf studio
yellow is affordable units 350sf each
purple is 1br 650 sf
blue is 2br 850 sf
green is 3 br 1300 sf

I am beginning to imagine the capacity for the flexibility of unit sizes to accomodate changes in family tenant size over time by juxtaposing 3br with 1br or studios,etc

I also want you guys to notice the studio units (red) directly above the commercial units (cyan) to potentially make live/work lofts via a stair connection
