HOUSING COMPETITION, 2007

PORTLAND COURTYARD HOUSING COMPETITION

In 2007, the City of Portland invited architects from around the world to share ideas on the design possibilities of housing oriented to shared courtyards. Portland is promoting courtyard housing as an additional infill housing type that can provide a quality living environment at densities higher than conventional detached housing.

I was a member of a 5-person team from LRS Architects that submitted an entry. We received a commendation for our efforts, out of over 250 entries from around the world. You can see the other entries here: http://www.courtyardhousing.org/about.html
