2007
The Coho Townhouses project is a
high-density, infill student housing project located in the West University
District near the University of Oregon. This student housing development consists of nine three-story
townhouses divided into two buildings that are situated to create a common
courtyard. The key objective of this project was to create quality spaces that
encourage a sustainable lifestyle.
The carbon footprint of this
development is minimized through the integration of solar panels on the roof
which deliver electricity to the units. All of the stormwater run-off is treated
on-site, thus reducing the load on the municipal systems. Limited on-site car
parking is available, however, extensive covered, lockable bicycle parking is
provided to support alternative modes of transportation.
Material choices were made to
emphasize sustainability, low-maintenance costs, and durability. Examples of
this include the corrugated metal & cement fiber board sidings on the
exterior and the granite countertops found inside. The townhouse units are arranged
around a community courtyard designed to encourage social interaction among the
tenants without negatively affecting the privacy within the units. The
arrangement of windows in the angled bays along the façades provides each
bedroom with ample daylight without overlapping views to or from other units.
The Coho Townhouses are intended to provide students with high-quality housing
option that facilitates a low-impact lifestyle.
