Main Street Housing, Phase II
Half Moon Bay, CA
Share
This project was the second phase of affordable housing for migrant workers in Half Moon Bay. The new layout started with the addition of a barn-red community center, which anchors the second phase of construction. Two-story buildings, designed to look like individual farmhouses, flank a winding path and provide a protected, landscaped play area shared by all of the families.
Special attention was paid to finding special accents for each unit, such as using a gable roof to allow a tall ceiling in a family room, or designing a wood railing at the interior stair to match the detailing at the unit’s front porch.
