These two detached townhouses were commissioned by Greenleaf Construction as infill housing on a narrow, steep lot. Our solution was to create semi-shared entry courtyards as outspace linking the houses. Parking is directly off the street under the building. The design features high ceilings for a loft feel and decks that take advantage of the easterly view.
