沿着该地区的主要商业走廊，交通导向型发展的趋势是，这一发展距离一条新的轻轨线、一个公园和一个保健中心只有一个街区之遥。这座拥有116个可负担得起的出租单元的高级建筑，作为开发、居住社区服务的支柱，为零售空间和服务提供服务，并在拐角处展示了一座标志性的高楼，象征着一种场所感。

Leading a trend of transit-oriented development along the district’s main business corridor, the development lies just a block from a stop of a new light-rail line, a park, and a health center. The senior building, with 116 affordable rental units, serves as the anchor for the development, housing neighborhood-serving retail space and services and presenting an iconic tower at the corner that signals a sense of place.

为了反映这一地区历史上的非裔美国人，设计细节是从传统的非洲纺织品和符号中提取出来的。纺织品启发的油漆和窗户的安排结合起来，将建筑物的公共面用一个颜色和图案的联锁“被子”包裹起来。院子周围是一堵墙，里面嵌有代表安全、智慧、权力、爱、团结和希望的阿桑蒂部落符号。

To reflect the historically African-American population of the neighborhood, design details were drawn from traditional African textiles and symbols. Textile-inspired paint and window arrangements combine to wrap the public face of the building in an interlocking “quilt” of color and pattern. The courtyard is ringed by a wall inset with Ashanti tribal symbols representing security, wisdom, power, love, unity, and hope.

高级公寓可以俯瞰公园、庭院，或者是介于建筑物和家庭联排住宅开发之间的美化草坪。MEWS是城市街道网格的延伸，它提供了通往周围社区的直接通道，并作为一条与主干道相距的步行路径。

The senior apartments overlook the park, the courtyard, or a landscaped mews that runs between the building and the family townhouse development. The mews, an extension of the city street grid, provides direct access to the surrounding neighborhood and serves as a walking path away from the main arterial roadway.

在家庭发展中，两部分堆叠的联排房屋在一层停车场、大堂和社区空间上方，旁边是一个大的开放公共庭院。在通过私人门廊和阳台与城市街道保持联系的同时，这些联排别墅围绕着中央庭院，其中包括菜园、户外座位、野餐和游戏结构。两边都有一个更小的私人庭院，里面有种植园主和野餐桌。

In the family development, two mirrored sections of stacked townhouses flank a large open public courtyard above one level of parking, lobby, and community spaces. While staying connected to the city streets through private stoops and balconies, the townhouses surround the central courtyard, which features vegetable gardens, outdoor seating, and a picnic and play structure. Each side also features a smaller private courtyard with planters and picnic tables.
