Silo Lofts

Charlotte, NC

Locat­ed on the edge of Charlotte’s Fourth Ward, this site was a for­got­ten sliv­er of land whose desir­abil­i­ty was com­pro­mised by adja­cent indus­try, an active rail­road, a free­way and a con­ve­nience store. Only four blocks from Try­on Street, the city’s main thor­ough­fare, the site did, how­ev­er, pro­vide dra­mat­ic sky­line views. The design solu­tion was to con­struct a lin­ear, four-sto­ry build­ing close to the street with sur­face park­ing in the rear. Using the indus­tri­al con­text as an advan­tage, the build­ing exte­ri­or incor­po­rates cor­ru­gat­ed met­al cladding and oth­er col­or­ful com­po­nents. The small unit square footage [ 525sf] was off­set by 10-foot ceil­ings, and lumi­nous win­dow walls fac­ing the skyline.
