Site Design Review - Case Study #4

This is a large housing site near a busy road -

AS SUBMITTED BY
THE ARCHITECTS ...


AS SUGGESTED BY
THE URBAN DESIGNER ...No change in the number of units or amount of parking,
but quite a difference in the spatial ordering of the site!


Turning the open spaces toward the entry road creates longer vistas and the community center at the end of the entry road now has a rear play yard that can be seen by parents through the rear of the building.
