GREEN ON 19 TOWNHOMES

ARCHITECT DRIVEN 5-UNIT TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT OCCUPIES A TYPICAL INFILL SITE WITHIN THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA’S SEMI-URBAN GRID. ITS MODERN DESIGN, WITH INTEGRATED GREEN TECHNOLOGIES AND MATERALS, IS A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE FROM THE TRADITIONALLY BASED NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT.

WITH ITS SERIAL PATTERN AND CLEAN DIPARTITE FORMAL COMPOSITION CAPPED WITH SEMI-TRANSPARENT BI-FACIAL PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR CANOPIES THAT PROVIDE SHADE FOR ROOF DECKS AS WELL AS OVER 3000KWH ELECTRICITY GENERATION PER YEAR FOR EACH UNIT, THESE TOWNHOMES ARE DESIGNED TO INCITE EXCITEMENT AND A SENSE OF OPTIMISM FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

AMONG THE PROJECT’S MANY OTHER SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND MATERIALS ARE MINIMALIST, DOUBLE-SIDED, ETHANOL-FUELED FIREPLACES SET IN CUSTOM FSC-CERTIFIED BAMBOO CASEWORK. THESE CENTRAL HEARTHS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY GENERATE A COOL AMBIENCE WHILE EFFECTIVELY WARMING EACH UNIT’S ENTIRE TWO-STORY PRIMARY VOLUME.
