The quartet is taut and unabashedly contemporary, skinned in materials like corrugated metal and Swiss Pearl cement board that bristle with energy and don’t feel clichéd. They also hold their own with self-assured strength amid neighbors like Ashby Lumber and Urban Ore, as well as the three individual live-work structures that preceded it (one of which holds Wilson’s design firm).

Equally impressive are the interiors, each with a double-height work area tucked behind the stairway that leads up to the top-floor living area. Tucked behind the compound’s earlier buildings, this new quartet is easy to miss – but it deserves attention all the same.
