SCOPE / COMPONENTS
Client Goal Met:
Established the architectural vision for a 22-lot infill residential community within a mature neighborhood, transforming a former underutilized church site into thoughtfully integrated housing. Shapiro & Company developed three distinct home plan types with multiple alternate front elevations, drawing inspiration from the neighborhood’s eclectic historic cottage architecture while ensuring compatibility with surrounding homes. Floor plans were designed to reflect contemporary living preferences while maintaining contextual architectural character.
Why It Matters:
Demonstrates the ability to deliver context-sensitive infill development that balances historic neighborhood compatibility with modern market demands—creating cohesive residential environments that respect existing community character while maximizing redevelopment potential.
