In creating an artist residency in relationship to the triple decker typology and paying mind to an
otherwise residential area, skewing thresholds between institutional and residential
were inspired by the artist residency programs themselves. There is quilting, an art of patching, and risograph printing, an art of layering, two artistries split across the digital and the manual, deep histories and recent nascence, fast and slow production times, but both working to transfer an image from one form to another through changes in scale and depth. This flatness is explored through the experience of layering of skewed thresholds in the project. 
As the interior expands, scenes are created and cast to the façade.

Extrapolating the fold and the patch, the combined artist residence, studio, gallery, and community
teaching spaces are manifested through a combinatory folding of the typical triple decker plan and
patched with circulation cores and sectional voids. 

The resultant form quickly denies a steady separation of spaces amongst stacked floor plates, as typical
in the triple decker typology, and intermingles artist and guest along layered sight lines, programmatic
adjacencies, expanded and contracted hallways, and interior‐exterior juxtapositions.
