Garfield housing competition, Pittsburgh PA
Designed as John G Ellis architect, 1982
Garfield is a rundown district in Pittsburgh that had a tradition of single family homes on individual parcels. The competition sought ideas about urban infill. The design proposed a row of 4 townhouses with inlaw units above the garages accessed from the rear alley. The architectural language was responsive to the local vernacular.
Plans, elevations showing the project for 8 dwellings, 4 townhouses each with its own ADU, on its steep hillside site.
