We chose to focus our attention on the site areas circled in red on the map above. These sites are located either on major bus routes in commercial districts or on quieter residential streets within close proximity to bus routes and major city streets. Since each of these sites offers a different opportunity, the goal was to design a prototype floor plan that could be blended with different styles to accommodate the diverse nature of the neighborhoods. The following pages contain floor plans, elevations, and site plans of the prototypes for both the townhouses and single family homes. The townhouses are 2-3 bedroom units that offer between 1,500-1,700 square feet of living space and square feet of work space. The single family homes are 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath and offer 1,900 square feet of living space and 900 square feet of work space at the ground level. Focus Areas Focus Areas S Fiber Cement is low cost, low maintenance, highly durable, and environmentally friendly. It offers a variety of shapes, colors, and textures, allowing it to be used for a multitude of applications including traditional siding, vintage brick, and large panels. It is also made from recycled materials and is weather and pest resistant. This material allows for a variety of designs while keeping the cost of construction down.
