timid

located at richmond and church this small building is a relatively new installation, nestled in a narrow site, between two multi story commercial buildings. small buildings are often exaggerated when set in a context that adheres to a much larger scale. this building is not only set in a context out of its scale, but it also displays a unique manner of doing so. it mimics the shape, form and typology of adjacent buildings but at a drastically reduced size. like a child mimicking a adult, this small building looks up to its elders.
