 Livermore Village
Winner Livable Cities Award 2007
Livermore, California
Urban Design and Architecture for a 5.5 acre catalyst site in downtown
Livermore consisting of 281 residential units, 6,000 square feet of
retail, and 4,500 square feet of artists space. The program called for
a mixture of building types including live/work, townhomes, townhomes
over flats, and courtyard podium buildings. In the courtyard podium
building, the units are stacked above a parking podium with flex unit
liners and are arranged to form a series of courtyards onto which the
majority of the units open. The project also incorporates live/work
flex units to allow for the future commercial expansion of downtown
and a park-lift system to meet the parking demand for a higher density
building in a compact footprint.
