| 5 Live/Work Townhomes 7,000 sf, 3 stories, Type V 9 on-site parking spaces Doyle St. @ Ocean Ave., Emeryville Ocean/Doyle Development, LLC A Curious Lot Like children’s building blocks elementary shapes and deep walls protect this tiny community of 5 new units from the heavy locomotives that used to haul tanker cars across the corner of the property. Left with only 4,000 sf of buildable land this lot is surrounded by industrial buildings converting to multi-family residential and by a neighborhood of singlefamily pre-war bungalows. Upstairs - Downstairs The living units integrate townhouses and work studios into a kind of universal vertical space that allows for workshop, office and living activities that are naturally ventilated and passively heated on all levels. This architecture is about making links between different scales, different uses, and different times. Modest by necessity of its budget, the RR Spur Blocks reflects an ambition to create a friendly refuge around a small garden courtyard that opens to the western light. |
