The ruin of the McMillan plinth and oculus matrix provides a diagonal graining that is juxtaposed to the linear quality of the North and South Service Courts. The plinth as originally constructed was conditioned as an autonomous landscape vessel. The plinth and other constructs of singular purpose found at the McMillan site: sand bins, regulator houses, and filtration cells; became the DNA of our design investigation.

Our design reimagines the plinth as an abstracted ruin situated 20 above the North Service Court. This gesture allows the cadence of the sand bins to remain the primary tectonic reading along the North Service Court. Gabion walls containing the concrete remains of the original filtration cells encase a new community grocery and retail environment. Above the grocery, the exterior walls of the multifamily housing will recall the original purpose of the McMillan site: filtration and water.

Multifamily housing had been conceived by others to ring the grocery site with a large open court. We believe architecture at its root is a unique situational aesthetic formed by the pressures of place. Careful consideration of the scale of neighboring row houses along North Capitol Street and new McMillan row house community, along with the desire to bring natural light into the North Service Court, activated our search for a better design solution.

The multifamily aspect of our design is informed by the inward pressures of the neighboring row houses and the sand bins situated within the North Service Court. The resultant spatial logic is a building that provides breathing space and open terraces along the grocery plinth. Formally, as the housing retreats from the walls of the plinth, the buildings edge to the sky resembles the inverse of the scalloped perspective of the sand bin tops.

Our design is conceived to be a mediator that braids together the various building scales experienced at and adjacent to the McMillan site. Row houses and townhomes to the east and south of our site are taller than the grocery plinth of our proposal. The sand bins remain the dominant architectural element along the North Service Court.
