Market: Affordable Independent living for Seniors and Families
Services:       Architecture

Linden Place at Bitter Lake provides a combined 391 affordable rental housing units for both seniors and families. Two six-story mixed-use buildings are situated across a private internal woonerf style “living street”. This central woonerf creates a shared community space between the senior and family buildings, and can be closed at times to vehicular traffic, giving way to community events such as a weekend fair or block party.  Large courtyards, pea-patch gardens, outdoor pavilions, and penthouse sunrooms provide a variety of additional community gathering spaces throughout the project.

Commercial / retail tenant spaces anchor the corners of the woonerf.  Additional commercial / retail street frontage combined with ground floor residential units with street level entries and large porches create a vital and active streetscape for the community.  The project is located across from Bitter Lake Park & Community Center and within walking distance of grocery & retail stores, offering a convenient lifestyle and reducing the need for automobile use.
