Targeted towards families, utilizes courtyard housing techniques that allow for community, family-oriented, outdoor space as well as providing light and air to the interior spaces. Comprised of 186 units of studios, one, two and spacious three bedroom apartments, the project has two-story townhomes that wrap the ground floor activating the ground level. A green belt wraps the entire building, doubling as an emergency vehicle access and outdoor space to benefit the entire project. A pedestrian path is defined with the material selection to emphasize this as a community walk. The walk connects the building to a tot lot and dog run as well as a family fitness zone. A Community Porch faces the Tot Lot, encouraging even more “eyes on the street” for this community space. The design grounds itself within the context of the industrial history of the region, but re-imagines this context with a playful and modern sensibility. Exterior materials like red brick and metal panels reference the old factories of the area, but are used in a more playful manner, creating a cheerful new home for the future residents.
