The project
Assembly Architecture + Build designed and built the W. Haywood townhouses, the practice's first multi-unit project, on a steep slope on Chicken Hill above the French Broad River, close to Downtown Asheville and the River Arts District.
The three-level homes are clad in corrugated metal with bright colours at the doors and windows. Each is entered by a bridge from the street into an open kitchen, living and dining floor, with ensuite bedrooms below and a walkout lower level that can work as extra space or a separate rental. They were completed in 2024.

The entrances with orange and green accents.
