A townhome development consisting of 18 three story dwellings in two buildings is situated adjacent to a busy street. The two buildings are grouped facing one another across a landscaped passage and sited so as not to face the street, thereby increasing privacy and limiting traffic noise. The massing and materials of the facades, including sheltered entrances, are organized to articulate the individual dwellings within the larger buildings. Gated entry to the property, attached 2 car garage and private roof-top deck are features of each home.
