PENDARIES DUPLEX HOUSING

(Right) Here we see rendered images of the project on an sample site. This is the project from the non-street-front view. This image shows shared outdoor spaces which can be used for eating, hosting BBQs or other community events. This is such a prominent part of the project because keeping a close-knit community is such an important part of the Pendaries community. In the render, we can also see that there are no trees directly around the project; they are cut down to keep a fire buffer with no large foliage within 30 feet of the building. Here we can also see some of the fire resilient materials including concrete masonry units which although a little more on the expensive side and not as sustainable for the planet is a fire resilient material that is sure to last the test of time.

(Left) Here we see the street front view of the project with ample parking area in front of the project and when the cars are away or parked elsewhere there is area for recreation or community gathering in front of the houses. The buildings are separated by the topography and give both neighbors room to breathe but both levels can be accessed by the exterior staircase. Below are section cuts of the building showing off some of the possible materials on the project. The image depicts rammed earth and brick. These section drawings also show the relationship of the site topography to the project.
