The Architects worked to create a series of small neighborhood environments connected with a walkway that circles the site and provides a basic circulation pathway to the Community Building and the community at large.  The townhouses all have porches which create a semi public place adjacent to the “piazettas”.  Each unit has a small backyard with a fruit tree (a Burbank Housing Development Corporation standard!).

The buildings are designed as simple forms to keep costs down but have special touches which add a quality that carries through and lifts them to a better level.  These include the curve of the porches, the chamfers on the redwood porch columns, the gable vents, the stained beaded-plywood porch soffits and trellised open porches of the second floor flats.
