Park Place Residential Development, USA

Located at 51st and Lawndale on Chicago’s Southwest side, this fourteen acre 177 dwelling mixed housing development is comprised of townhouses, three flats, six flats and  single family homes  articulated in traditional Chicago housing styles.  The use of  alternating facades,  varying masonry colors,  full  width porches and siding contribute  to the unique dynamic of the complex. Other features include a one acre park  and adjacent  community center.

This traditional style neighborhood reclaims and revitalizes an abandoned manufacturing area with a variety of housing  types and open space in such  a way as to  resemble a naturally occurring neighborhood. Primary access to the site is along a classic tree lined main street terminating on a community green space. Pedestrian friendly sidewalks and streets  minimizes  resident / automobile interaction in a manner that promotes outdoor activity and vitality.
