Aspen Court

Special Needs Housing

Aspen Court provides twelve apartments for people with AIDS/HIV. Many of the residents, disadvantaged by illness and staggering medical costs, are formerly homeless, very low income persons that have left transitional support housing and are now able to live independently in a supportive and affordable community setting. The apartments, conveniently located near transit and a business district, are situated on a sloping, 1/2 acre site along a creek at the edge of a predominantly single family home neighborhood.

Pyatok Architects set out to create a warm, home-like environment with a distinctive lodge character to meet residents needs and distinguish the project in its surrounding context. The architects worked with RCD and the neighborhood residents to advance the project beyond initial community resistance to its location and population served.
