The site of a former battery making factory will soon be home for sixty-five senior households on Foothill Boulevard. On a half-acre site, this high-density project provides a variety of outdoor common spaces for its residents as well as an additional front setback to accommodate street tree plantings along the narrow existing public right-of-way.
The building character is a modern Arts and Crafts interpretation, reflected in the simple proportions, the deep-set windows adjacent to airy metal-clad bay windows, and the use of heavy timber brackets. A glass-walled parapet will glow in the evenings as back-lighting underscores the bracketed overhang.
