CONCEPT: The Adams Crossing Urban Housing Concept in Cincinnati is a mixeduse development situated at the emerging Adams Crossing, seamlessly connecting with the riverfront. The architectural vision focuses on providing optimal views by curving around the site. Circulation is placed on the backside with a more rigid concept, contrasting the fluid and dynamic front facade inspired by the nearby river. Solids and voids shape the spaces within the development, with solids representing housing areas and voids housing commercial spaces. These commercial spaces include amenities like an indoor pool, gym, restaurant, green spaces, and management offices, creating a blend of residential and commercial functions. The housing units consist of five typologies - 3-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 1-bedroom, studio, and loft studio units. All units feature an open floor plan to connect with views and maximize natural light. The facade of the housing solids includes a movable second layer made of metal, offering residents control over light exposure. This feature adds functionality and aesthetic appeal, aligning with the creative identity of Cincinnati. The Adams Crossing Urban Housing Concept reflects thoughtful urban planning, integrating form, function, and aesthetics to create a landmark development contributing positively to Cincinnati’s evolving urban fabric.
