The Steelhead Townhouses project is a high-density, infill student
housing project located near the University of Oregon. Since the site
constraints for this project accommodated only one building tucked into a
deep, narrow lot, units are arranged on one side of a community
courtyard. Each unit has a semi-private outdoor space located along the
courtyard and directly in front of the unit’s entrance. This outdoor
area has a low garden wall for seating, which is designed to encourage
social interaction among the tenants.
A sister project to the Coho Townhouses, the Steelhead Townhouses
incorporate all of the sustainable design features of the Coho
Townhouses. At the Steelhead Townhouses, material choices were made to
emphasize sustainability, low-maintenance costs, and durability.
Low-maintenance corrugated metal, stucco and cement fiber board siding
are used on the exterior of the building. Durable granite countertops
can be found inside. Solar panels are located on the south-facing roof.
All of the stormwater run-off is treated on-site, reducing the load on
the municipal systems. To encourage the reduced reliance on automobile
transportation, extensive covered, lockable bicycle parking is provided
in addition to the limited car parking provided on-site.
Both end units at the Steelhead Townhouses feature balconies that not
only bring natural light and ventilation into the units, but also allow
the residents to have a greater amount of interaction with the
environment. Skylights in the stairs and the large windows in the angled
bays along the facades allow the units to be flooded with natural
light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
