 community building: dramatic roof lineand colors add visual interest to courtyard
|
The 3 residential buildings are 2-story wood frame structures on concrete slab-on-grade, interconnected by a covered arcade and surrounding an interior courtyard. The community room opens onto the courtyard by means of a great door to allow the room to expand into the courtyard for large gatherings. The door also transforms into a large movie screen, allowing residents to view films during warm summer evenings.

The unit mix, which include 1- and 2-bedroom units, has been carefully planned based on direct input from the developmentally disabled community. Unit amenities include ceiling light fixtures, refrigerator, gas range, and gas-fired, electric ignition wall heaters. Each unit has a microwave oven, as this request has been repeatedly heard from the developmentally disabled community.
Approximately 32 residents are accommodated here, including the resident manager, who is an employee of Charities Housing Development Corporation and is responsible for management tasks related to the complex. The density of the project is 27 units per acre.
