Program: Create a
site design to optimally locate 32 townhomes on a half-block site in the Station
North Arts & Entertainment District north of Penn Station. Design unit types for
single-family homeownership, including live-work units.
Design: The creation of a mews at mid- block allows all
houses to have fronts on the public way and parking at the rear. The two horseshoe-
shaped clusters of houses surround private automobile courts, with some houses having
front, side, or rear yards. The facade design seeks a modern reinterpretation of the
rowhouse, with proportions and materials in keeping with historic neighbors. Corner
houses incorporate projecting bays and first-floor flex space to promote studio or
home-office use.
Responsibilities: ArchPlan provided schematic design
services, design development drawings, construction documents,
and construction administration services for the project.
Project was completed in summer 2007 and received
a design award from the Masonry Institute of Maryland.
