Senior Housing > The Orchards on Foothill
-
This high-density project on Foothill Boulevard is the brownfield site of a former battery making factory. A narrow existing public right-of-way is accommodated by a front setback that allows for street tree planingsfront . A glass-walled parapet will glow in the evenings as back-lighting underscores the bracketed overhang.
-
A variety of outdoor common spaces include a podium-level courtyard, as well as a south-facing grade-level courtyard with vegetable planters to the rear.
-
This project was conceived of as a more contemporary interpretation of Arts and Crafts, with deep-set windows and heavy timber trellises softening the clean lines.
