TYPE: Mixed-Use
STATUS: Built
SHIFTED sits on a tiny L-shaped leftover lot, just 867 SF tucked between corner parcels on adjacent streets. As industrial and larger commercial uses have vacated the Fishtown neighborhood in recent years, smaller multi-family housing and nimble micro-businesses have taken their place. SHIFTED uses a series of stacked and displaced volumes to accommodate cozy residential dwelling units above a street-level apothecary. Despite the small footprint and modest construction budget, each unit benefits from its own private outdoor terrace with views along the avenue and an abundance of natural light from oversized windows.
