“a scheme that gave a majority of the property to parks and open space”
This nine home Habitat for Humanity project is the result of an open competition to determine the best use for a former Army National Guard facility at the foot of the iconic Colorado Street Bridge in the Arroyo Seco. We teamed with Habitat to create a scheme that gave a majority of the property to the city of Pasadena for parks and open space and developed 1.25 acres as a craftsmen-era bungalow court.
