WHEN
2019
The existing Farmworker housing (converted from World War II POW camps), lacks a sense of character and individuality. The design of the new affordable homes focus on creating multi-family dwellings that more closely reflect a typical single-family neighborhood. To achieve this, larger buildings line the perimeter of the site, buffering the smaller, single-family style homes in the center of the complex. In order to accommodate parking without the use of a large parking lot or structure, semi-private driveways were conveniently placed between homes and distributed throughout the site. Unit types include 1-4 bedroom options with multiple configurations. The varying roof shapes also add visual interest while the natural color palette, with bright pops of colors on doors, blend in with the surrounding environment.
