PROJECT: ALFRED STREET TOWNHOMES
LOCATION: DETROIT, MI
STATUS: ONGOING
TYPE: RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOMES, PARKING GARAGE

These two residential townhomes anchor a larger mixed-use development and provide a subtle transition from adjacent neighborhoods -- one of historic mansions, and another of large new and future developments that have begun to populate the area. The homes include three stories with outdoor terraces, street level access and private parking options. They screen and wrap the parking structure beyond. The neighborhood is beginning to surge again with a plethora of new amenities, including the light rail Q-line cruising Woodward Avenue, with stops less than a block away and new retail and restaurant choices popping up all the time. These luxury homes are well positioned in the vibrant and growing community of Brush Park.

SUPPORT THE PUBLIC REALM This project is, in its essence, a Wrapper Building. It recognizes the realities of current market forces and in-place zoning that require some amount of car parking. In this case and due to the project’s proximity to public transportation, it is a lower ratio. Being part of a bigger mixed-use development strategy, this project aspires to swallow and hide the surrounding parking prerequisite and return back the realm of the street to the people.
