Sustainability was the central theme for this project. The design incorporates strategies such as density, natural light, ventilation, conservation, and green materials, to such an extent that the project qualified to receive the L.E.E.D.- H Silver certification for homes. The rowhouses were designed to be the first phase of a larger, medium density residential development.

The rowhouses were designed with respect to the character and scale of the historic Fairmount neighborhood. Each unit has a complementing garage with a second level studio above, framing an outdoor garden space. To maximize space on the small parcels, access to the garages is from an alleyway, thus providing a generous amount of central outdoor space overlooked by the balconies of each unit.
