“The typology of row houses is based on this principle of repetition in the best sense - provided that the recurring element is worth repeating, and also provided that the method of repetition is not monotonous” - Günter Pfeifer

COURTYARD HOUSING INNER PORTLAND INFILL LEE JORGENSEN • ARCH 584 • FIFIELD • FALL 2011

Courtyard housing has the opportunity to address the issue of increasing density while still maintaining a sense of community and family-friendly gathering areas for all ages. This scheme creates a hierarchy of indoor and outdoor spaces through the use of front porches, back patios, private terraces, shared courts, and common green areas. Together, these elements work to create a livable community that allows for both private and public interactions.

WALK-UP APARTMENTS LEE JORGENSEN • ARCH 584 • FIFIELD • FALL 2011

In many sprawling communities across the United States low density housing is paving a path to a world with increased socioeconomic segregation, lack of affordable housing, and unsustainable lifestyles. While it is not appropriate to simply start erecting high-rise apartment complexes in these neighborhoods, lower density apartments such as walk-ups provide a stepping stone to increased density. The essence of the walk-up apartments is the blend between independence and community in a lower density apartment setting. This is what makes such a typology an attractive fi t for suburban communities looking to increase their density. This concept for a 64 unit development takes into account the privacy needs of individual families and at the same time provides opportunities for public interaction and engagement. Communal areas such as the gardening plots, the common courtyard and basketball facilities help encourage a sense of belonging and promote an active lifestyle. The aesthetics of apartments furthar express this individuality within a community. Wood siding is rotated to at each unit to express its individual identity along with changes in the facade plane. These elements combine to make a community within a community that can help America’s suburban neighborhoods connect to new demographics and densify in a respectful manner
