Switch/bloc位于一处典型的市中心地段，街道景观活跃。区别于大多数此类地块，这里没有可用于打造与相邻社区间的“缓冲地带”的后巷空间。面对这类开发，人们大多倾向于建造一个4层双走廊多户住宅项目来覆盖整个地块，然而这类做法对于公共空间不仅毫无裨益，还让人口密度更加拥挤。

MODA设计团队的初步探讨围绕挑战传统展开，对“住宅单元”的构成及其在整个建筑中的分布方式重新构思。“如果一个单元跨越建筑的整个长度，并且没有被走廊阻隔，会如何？”此外，他们还思考到，“如果这些单元分布在2层楼中，如何布局才能尽量减少内部的公共走廊？”

正如Switch/bloc的名称所暗示的那样，该解决方案需要以折返方式将单元布局在两层楼中，进而将住宅中的厨房、客厅、餐厅等区域配置在建筑前侧，将更私密的空间置于后方。

项目将功能分布在外置的前立面和内凹的后立面中，借助建筑语言形式的传达，为“形式追随功能”的现代主义注入了新的活力。现在西立面完全由公共功能（阳台、客餐厅等）组成，这些功能延伸到街景中并与之互动。相反，东立面向内回缩，为更私密的住宅空间（家庭办公室、卧室、浴室等）提供隐私保护。此外，这种严格的功能分配也考虑到了场地的昼夜敏感性，东立面的私密功能区仅接收早晨的阳光，而相对公共的区域在西立面接收最大强度和持续时间的光照。

如图纸所示，建筑通过创造性地堆叠互联各种单元进行布局，因此只需在三楼打造一个走廊即可。这种正式化策略还提供了多样化的户型和面积选择，能够满足多户住宅市场中被遗忘和服务不足的部分：家庭群体。

Switch/bloc为多户住宅打造了一种新的类型，力求在范围和服务群体上更具包容性而非排他性。

The site for Switch/bloc is a typical inner-city lot with an active streetscape. However, unlike most inner-city lots, the site does not have a rear lane, which typically helps to add a 'buffer zone' between the new development and the adjacent community. The knee-jerk response for this site, and many others like it, would be a ubiquitous 4 storey, double-loaded corridor, multi-residential housing project that does little if anything to add to the public realm, and which caters to a narrow demographic.

The initial discussions at Modern Office of Design + Architecture revolved around challenging convention through reconceptualizing both what comprises a 'unit', and how these units are distributed throughout the building. The firm asked, what if a unit stretched the entire length of the building and wasn't interrupted by a corridor? In addition, they asked, if these units were distributed over 2 floors, how could they be arranged in such a way that internal public corridors could be drastically reduced?

As the name Switch/bloc implies, the solution entailed distributing the typical unit over two floors in a switchback fashion, which allowed the firm to allocate the more public programmatic requirements of dwelling (kitchen, living, dining, etc.) at the front of the building, and the more private programmatic requirements at the back of the building.

This division of program into an extroverted front façade and an introverted rear façade breathes new life into the modernist epithet of 'form follows function' by helping to inform the formal language of the architecture. On the west façade, you now have an elevation composed entirely of public programming (balconies, living & dining rooms, etc.) that reach out towards and interact with the streetscape. Conversely, on the east façade, you have an elevation that withdraws into itself as though it protects and provides privacy for the more intimate spaces of dwelling (home office, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.). In addition, this strict allocation of program is also informed by the diurnal sensibilities of the site, with the private programming of the east façade receiving only the morning sun, while the public programming of the west façade receives the greatest intensity and duration of light.

As seen in the diagrams, the building organizes itself through the creative inter-locking and stacking of the various units such that only one access corridor is required on the third floor. This formal strategy also provides for a diversity of unit types and sizes that cater to a forgotten and under-served segment of the multi-residential market; the family.

Switch/bloc provides a new typology for multi-residential housing that endeavors to be more inclusive vs. exclusive in both its scope and reach.

Founded in 2013 by architects Ben Klumper and Dustin Couzens, Modern Office of Design + Architecture is a Calgary-based practice working across the fields of architecture, urbanism, landscape, and design.
The practice seeks the untapped potentials in limitation and constraint, exploiting them as opportunities for spectacle to emerge within the everyday. They seek to learn, to understand, to educate, and to pass along knowledge through actions and a collective voice. They relish conversations with like-minded thinkers, dreamers, and makers that yearn to produce something bigger than any one individual could accomplish on their own.
