The project features 13 one-bedroom units and a community room, all in an intimate environment. It also includes elevators, laundry facilities, social lounges and garden areas. The complex is intended to facilitate independent living for its residents.
This complex, located at 340 Laguna Drive in Rohnert Park, has 24 one-bedroom units, a community room, a game room, a storage room, elevators, laundry facilities, social lounges and garden areas. The apartments are two stories with twelve units per floor and each unit have a patio/balcony. There is security lighting in the parking lot and around the exterior of the building. Muirfield is for people with developmental disabilities desirous of independent living.
These low-income houses are located at 359 West Payran Street in Petaluma, California. The development takes its name from a majestic 100 foot Elm tree located in the middle of the site. The tree, along with several others, became focal points of the 80 clustered two-story townhouses. It was developed as a richly textured neighborhood for families and their children. The design involves homes close to one another with human scale streets in a classic village pattern seen in many places around the world, but adapted to modern needs here and now. The homes are two-story duplex style or flats above neighborhood retail. Instead of large surface parking lots, parallel parking was used to satisfy all parking needs. Definite care has been taken to create a complex, graceful, interesting, and harmonious whole.
MACARTHUR LANE SUBDIVISION
This subdivision is located on East MacArthur
Street in Sonoma, California. It is a 30-unit development that consists
of 29 single-family units. The homes are arranged to front the streets
in a traditional block development pattern. Although, not detached, the
garages are typically set back from the main residence in order to improve
the sense of separation between buildings. Lot sizes range from 3,249
square feet to 7,094 square feet. The average lot size is a little over
5,000 square feet. The new development promotes pedestrian and bicycle
access, along with encouraging positive community interaction. This subdivision
reinforces and defines the historic, small-town characteristics of Sonoma. |
