Situated in the historic Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC, this project is a showcase of missing middle housing typologies. It offers a diverse range of housing options, totaling twenty-one units, in a single urban block within walking distance of major transportation hubs and amenities. The centerpiece is the transformation of an 1880s school building into twelve units. Previously serving as office space for the Africare organization, the schoolhouse found new life through a Historic Landmark process. Adjacent to the school building, four new rowhouses stand in place of a former parking lot. A duplex bookends the block bringing new life to a previously vacant property.
