Typology in architecture is a mode of classification that distinguishes buildings by functional and formal characteristics. This is a house versus an office versus a warehouse. As in taxonomy, the use of type serves to define the quintessential features of one category of building, producing an archetype against which other specimens can be compared. This system of classification is contrived of distinct entities with established borders. Yet, the liminal space between these species produces hybrids, or what we may call off-types - buildings that express ambiguity, fluidity and elusiveness.

Research into these  typological morphologies began by defining terms - a pair of expressive binaries against which various precedents could be evaluated. Ordinary vs. Uncanny, Emphatic vs. Hesitant. The result was a series of frontal elevations, masking a myriad of uses, rich in variety that demonstrated an uninhibited approach to architectural presence, image making and fiction. These are buildings of the in-between city, of the suburban non-place, where familiar types that, while distant, converge in a collage-like elevation uninterested in being categorized.
