In this project, we designed a series of six connected townhomes on the corner of Lincoln and Prairie Streets in NW Evanston. Our solution was to curve the buildings continuous façade similar to Peruzzi’s mannerist masterpiece Palazzo Massimi alle Colonne in Rome. Using this historical precedent as inspiration infuses the building with a subliminal gravitas that is not normally found in speculative residential development. Each townhome had an enclosed front yard, three bedrooms, three baths & a two car integral garage accessed from the alley in the rear.
