Design Guidelines Met
|
|
|
Residential Open Space Holly Park has a variety of parks and playspaces distributed throughout the site. It also includes a community center, a family center, an educational center, and a library that it shares with the surrounding community. |
|
|
|
New Holly's site development strategy reinstated the traditional street grid pattern. In order to facilitate an "accessible" pedestrian circulation across the site, streets and sidewalks were sloped at a maximum of 5% gradient wherever possible. |
|
|
|
Holly Park eliminated the need for large retaining walls by using the unit floor plans to take up the grade. This strategy permits the front and rear yards to have minimal slope to maximize usability. |
|
|
|
The homes were designed as a "kit of parts" to facilitate construction and lower cost. Modification, accomplished by standardized variation techniques, provided visual diversity to eliminate the perception os a monolithic housing development. By changing unit combinations, upper floorplans and roof forms, varying streetscapes were achieved without losing the visual harmony of the neighborhood. The public housing are similar in form, scale, detail and materials and are essentially indistinguishable from "for sale" housing. |
|
|
|
All the units at New Holly have 6' front porches that are oriented to the street and are visible from each unit's living spaces. Parking is typically provided in rear yard carports and accessed by an alley. Rear yards are individually fenced. |
|
|
|
The site plan was configured to retain as many existing significant trees as possible. Neighborhood pocket parks and chicanes were located at these trees. |
