eplacing a defunct shopping center and breathing new life into an aging

suburban neighborhood, Elevation is an infi ll, horizontal, mixed-use com-

munity that uses form-based design, recessed windows, color, and texture to

create a timeless, fresh style.

The small footprints are fl exible and adaptable to many lifestyles, delivering fi rst-

fl oor bedroom suites that open to private courtyards; second-fl oor living spaces;

and third-fl oor retreats. Placement of the plans within the site was also taken into

consideration, with third fl oors alternatively expressed and pushed back to give

each home its own character.

Plan 2 fl ips the main living spaces to the second fl oor, offering three-story living

within a compact footprint that’s fl exible and adaptable to many lifestyle needs.
