Quarterside

Charlotte, NC

The design divid­ed this com­plex and chal­leng­ing urban site into 4 mixed-use build­ings. This arrange­ment was used to address the exist­ing storm cul­vert ease­ment which bisects the site diag­o­nal­ly and to cre­ate a focused area for retail and recre­ation­al activ­i­ty. Each of these build­ings has a dif­fer­ent role in address­ing the urban con­text, with the most promi­nent build­ing locat­ed at the east­ern cor­ner of the site. This cor­ner site is bound­ed by two very dif­fer­ent but major trans­porta­tion cor­ri­dors into and out of cen­ter city and has become a tran­si­tion point between the low­er den­si­ty First Ward Gar­den Dis­trict and the high­er den­si­ty mixed-use devel­op­ment around the are­na. The building’s north­east­ern ele­va­tion engages the pedes­tri­an at street lev­el with walk-up town home entries, low planter walls and a wide patio area for the retail ten­ants. The south­east­ern ele­va­tion con­sists of deeply recessed pri­vate bal­conies with large over­hangs and a more for­mal edge along the street lev­el to address the heav­ier traf­fic flow. The building’s design is cen­tered on a main court­yard while the unit plans are designed to be open and orga­nized by “zones” rather than “walled” space sep­a­ra­tions.
