Here we have made a proposal for a mixed-use residential development for the growing housing demands presented by medical district.
This new development will include various housing typologies for mixed-income residential blocks, along with some commercial and medical developments to unite the JPS medical district, Main Street (to the East) and the area south of Allen.
In this example different constraints for building typologies were established:
-Comm. Mixed- Max FAR 40%, 5,000-30,000 sf, 5 Stories max
-Res. Row Homes - Max FAR 50%, 2,000-3,000 sf, 3 Stories max
-Res. Townhomes - Max FAR 75%, 2,000-3,000 sf, 4 Stories max
-Res. Duplex - Max FAR 75%, 2,000-3,000 sf, 3 Stories max
-Bus. Medical - Max FAR 35%, 2,000-10,000 sf, 3 Stories max
9 blocks of dilapidated single family housing lie west of main st. in Fort Worth, that are due to be demolished.
A central park will divide the residential blocks of the development into an Eastern and Western area. We will emphasize pedestrian and cycling accessibility to allen, jennings and main st, with dedicated paths, green spaces, and a central park to improve the overall experience of the new district.
Area 1 - Consists of Townhomes, Rowhomes and Duplexes
Area 1 Is divided into two smaller blocks
Blocks 1a and 1b are divided into useable lots to meet
Lots are generated randomly using Galapagos.
Block 1c is designed for Row homes facing the central park with alley access, creating secondary access
On the North of the development commercial and medical businesses will frame the residential entry via Allen Ave.
We apply the same constraints and logic to the entirety of the lot on both sides of the central park
The resulting layout was determined using the LotLogix script to maximize usable sf of Speculative housing properties, with less emphasis on diversity of building stock to allow more green space for the community
This is the preliminary proposal submitted to the client for approval
