This large project is designed for an irregularly
shaped site, located in the Irvington district of Fremont, adjacent
to a future BART station. It consists of 64 units of affordable
housing, with accompanying underground parking and ground floor
commercial spaces and support services offices.
The program is contained in two L-shaped 3-story
buildings, arranged around a large central landscaped area for the
use of all residents, featuring a small play area, and low maintenance,
drought resistant plant materials. The project also incorporates
a rooftop photovoltaic system.
The site is in a mixed-use area: the building
facing the busy Main Street incorporates contemporary, urban elements,
while the other building to the north, facing a residential area,
has a correspondingly more residential flavor.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for April 2010.
