Copperwood in Princeton
Princeton, NJ, United States
Copperwood is a 153 unit rental apartment complex on a beautifully wooded site in the Princeton Township, surrounded by the 200-acre Princeton Ridge Preserve. The targeted market for this residential community is the 55 and over age group, who plan to “downsize” into more manageable housing in close proximity to the amenities of downtown Princeton. Princeton has never had such housing. Historically, couples who were life-long members of and contributors to the community would have to move away from town in order to downsize.
Natural, muted colors and materials conceal the exterior of the complex in the woods and the sunlit internal courtyards are enlivened with a hint of light yellow. This coloration has been implemented to respect the character of Princeton Ridge Preserve. We believe that the context of the site is as important as the building being proposed.
More than 17 acres of the 21 acre site are being preserved as dedicated public open space giving the residents unobstructed views of the natural setting in all directions. (This site design actually saved 487 trees more than a previously approved design by a national homebuilder and disturbs only 17% of the site versus the original 77%.)
Copperwood is sited on a 21 acre site on Bunn Drive, on a gently sloping ground, adjacent to the public Hilltop Park. In order to preserve the site with its pristine Beech tree landscape, the project footprint has been minimized with five apartment buildings tightly organized around piazzas, courtyards, and gardens and sitting atop a below grade garage. The carefully studied placement of the complex into the existing woods has minimized the site disturbance and tree removal and protected the existing specimen trees.
