Design Constraints

ARCHITECTURE

Units are designed within a base module, occupying 1 or 2 bays of the structural frame. With a North to South oriented plan, public and private space are organized according to solar exposure. All homes are built as flat, one-story apartment style units. Not only are there benefits in terms of universal accessibility/inclusive design, but there are dollars saved on staircases and structural openings. Centered in each unit are the primary chases for plumbing, with a bathroom to separate living and sleeping spaces.

These units appeal to a diverse range of demographics with sleek & efficient interior design sensibilities - the design privileges accessibly to provide future occupants with the opportunity for long-term ownership and the ability to agein-place.
