This project was conceptualized as a “horizontal mixed-use” project in Phoenix, Arizona. The community was visualized as a contemporary enclave of mostly 3-story walk-up flats and townhomes, plus one 4-story elevator building. The master plan sought to achieve a very high level of walkability throughout the community and was developed around a circulation spine of walkable streets, with a minimum of garage doors facing the semi-public automobile access routes. The entire 1/4-mile long site is traversed by an enhanced pedestrian walk path that gathers pedestrian flow throughout the site and delivers it, by way of the central recreation area, to the adjacent commercial center which proffers a desirable blend of neighborhood-serving retail uses.
