What types of amenities would you like to see as part of the C40 housing? What types of amenities would make the site feel attractive, safe and a place that you would call home?
Lots of green space with native plants to create a sense of place.
What makes a safe and attractive site – what should playground, landscaping, fencing, parking look like? What other changes will improve safety at the property and on the block?
There should be a minimal amount of parking. Public safety can be provided by neighbors looking out for each other.
What should we borrow from architectural elements of buildings in the neighborhood, while still giving the building a contemporary look?
The architecture should take inspiration from the materials and massing of the existing buildings but it should not attempt to copy the existing buildings.
How could this development support the culture and history of the neighborhood?
The development should reflect the culture of the existing residents of the neighborhood while at the same time welcoming new residents. The development should be pedestrian oriented.
