Ground floor units feature walk-out patios and direct access from private garages. Handicap-accessible units are also located on the ground floor. Upper level units are accessed by stairs and since there are no elevators, they are not required to be FHA accessible or adaptable. The upper level units stretch from the front of each building to the back, allowing flow-through ventilation and also providing each unit with the best opportunities for views and exposure. A repetitive structural module allows for economical construction cost, but the exteriors are modulated to emphasize the sense of individuality for the units. A key consideration in this project was creating a lively and well-scaled streetscape. The buildings front the street in a formal manner to emphasize an urban nature and to maximize the development efficiency. Parallel parking is provided on the street for convenience, and landscaping, patios and stoops all provide scale and activity that encourage neighborliness. The ultimate result is a low-cost product type with a higher density than is customary, yet a high livability factor as well.
