This project is set within a single-family neighborhood of craftsman style houses and provides congregate rental housing for unrelated people who seek an alternative to the high cost and isolation of conventional housing. Developed by Innovative Housing, a nationally recognized nonprofit developer of shared housing and cooperative communities, the Vest Pocket Community accommodates five shared households. Each house has its own communal living/dining/kitchen space, a television room and a ground floor bedroom with bath accessible to the handicapped. On the upper floors, bedrooms differ in size and arrangement in order to accommodate a variety of persons and income levels. A sixth house contains a resident manager’s unit and office, and a large community room facing onto a garden with a communal dining table and barbecue. The architecture refers to the neighborhood vernacular with horizontal siding, plywood and batten siding, deep, bracketed eaves, double hung windows and careful attention to detail.
