Inpark 8860 Fall 2019 Project Type: Housing Location: Lubbock, Texas Floor Count: 2 Project Scope: Inpark 8860 aims to bring 60 residential homes to a wide variety of families. The project does so by providing 3 building types. The project contains small, medium and large floor plans for newly weds, roomates and large families of 3. Unlike traditional apartments, these units allow the users to interact with the land by allowing the land to be used as a park when flooding occurs in the area. All units can be open to allow extra square footage outside.
