Manor Road is a corridor of very diverse activity, incorporating restaurants, day care centers, auto repair shops, and service industries that attribute to the rich and established history of the neighborhood. In attempts to keep the colloquial aesthetic of the neighborhood, a variety of materials used in surrounding establishments are incorporated in more innovative forms. The project consists of commercial use on the ground level and apartment units above. The goal was to make a pedestrian friendly node consisting of small plazas and commercial lots that encourage people interaction. The residential spaces above have a sense of privacy while providing private views to the plazas below.
