Architecturally Distinguished
Designed from the ground up by RISD-trained architect Jack Ryan, Matilda Overlook transforms a challenging hillside site into a model of what architecturally ambitious housing can achieve.


"The lower level is stepped back with each getting covered stoops, giving each unit its own articulation. The building is a long continuous plane that runs over the stepped unit entries below, with the rising and falling of the roof line coordinated with the rhythm of the rowhouses. I wanted the play between each unit having its own identity while also creating a building that reads as one long figure."
Jack Ryan, Principal Architect
"The best new housing on the East Side is not on College Hill or in Fox Point. Matilda Overlook is a model of what can be accomplished with limited budget, a difficult site, and the vision to set a new standard for development on North Main Street."
Will Morgan — Architecture Critic, GoLocalProv
Facade Manipulation
Hardy Board siding with undulating roofline gives the walls a whimsical plasticity and rich modulation of light and shadow.
Topographic Design
Buildings step with over 20 feet of grade change, creating a cascading composition that embraces the hillside.
Individual Identity
Each townhome has its own articulation while the whole reads as one long figure—a building that is both singular and multiple.
