Located in the historic city center, the project continues the trend of urban lifestyle in Pensacola, combining the quality of dense urban development – townhouses and traditional American homes. On the one hand, such a combination contributes to the creation of the local community, on the other hand, will ensure the privacy and individuality of each family.
The diagonal orientation of the block is determined by the best balance between the density and the criteria set: excessive insolation protection, the creation of various open spaces, privacy, visual connections. In addition to blocked housing, the project reacts to the neighborhood with a busy street and intersections, forming an expressive city silhouette with the inclusion of public functions on the ground floor. Also, an important part of the project, as a component of the interaction between future residents of the block, is the vacant space, the purpose of which will be determined collectively by the residents themselves.
