This garden-style development includes seven new wood-framed buildings organized around an existing historic house. The team managed the Historic Rehabilitation and the Historic Resources Design Review Process necessary for the renovation of the structure. Additionally, the preservation of Oregon White Oak trees creates a sense of permanence and naturally integrates the buildings into the neighborhood. An extensive on-site stormwater management system was designed to mitigate poor soil infiltration conditions. The team also prepared design documents in support of the funding application to Oregon Housing Community Services, helping to secure the award of tax credits.
