Clairton Inn Apartments

This design leverages a new affordable housing project to help reestablish a traditional main street in the heart of the rust-belt city of Clairton, PA. The historic Clairton Inn became the foundation for a new, contextual design that includes 49 new apartment units and amenity spaces over a new ground-floor retail. While the building plan is economical, the building elevation is a collection of façades designed to reference the scale and materiality of the surrounding context.
