Oak Court Townhomes lies at the edge of downtown Palo Alto in a neighborhood that has become known as "Professorville," an affluent residential enclave of classic single-family craftsman homes where the median home price is $1.5 million. The project consists of 53 apartments for low-income families in townhomes over flats, above a partial subterranean garage on approximately an acre.
Pyatok architects facilitated several community meetings to help generate the form, organization and program of this project. The process resulted in buildings that have been very well received by the local homeowners, despite the income and wealth disparities between the new residents and the neighbors.
