Mason St. Townhomes
NE Portland, OR | 2018
NE Portland, OR | 2018
This is a unique community of 14 homes, with a common house, courtyard, guest rooms, and other shared amenities, such as bicycle storage and gardening. The homes were designed by Communitecture as townhome-style dwellings, with a variety of sizes and configurations throughout the community, including (3) two bedroom townhomes, (4) three bedroom townhomes, and (6) four bedroom townhomes. Three of the two bedroom townhomes are permanently affordable through the involvement of Proud Ground.
The common house and each townhome open to covered patio areas that are oriented around a central courtyard. The layout of each townhome places the kitchen towards the covered patios and courtyard, to encourage interaction between residents and the activity of the courtyard and common house. The dwelling units are efficiently designed to provide a spacious feel within a small footprint. Each building utilizes a playful layout of gable roofs, dormers, projections and facade artwork to break down the scale of the project and to further add to the variety of spaces within each building. Although it has a higher density than much of the surrounding neighborhood, it provides an appropriate transition between an active commercial zone and the adjacent residential area.
