Riverwalk

April 18, 2019 By

Client: Affirmed Housing Group

Location: Chula Vista, California

User: Low income families

Building Area: 47,633 sf (one to three stories)

Number of Units: 50 units (1, 2, 3 Bedrooms)

Du/Acre: 19 du/ac

Parking: 80 spaces

Site Area: 2.6 Acres

Amenities: Meeting rooms, computer room, laundry, tot lot and exercise room

Construction Materials: Wood-framed structures clad in stucco, fiber cement trim, metal roof, wood trellis/awnings, wood railings, with a prefab corten steel bridge

Design facts: Buildings are sculpted with dormers, bays and voids to reduce their bulk and create massing more sympathetic to nearby single family homes. Broad roof overhangs, timber trellises and horizontal lapped siding further add a familiar domesticity to the development. A 1,800sf Commons building sits at the center of the complex, overlooking the creek.

Story to tell: This project site had a variety of extreme challenges from a creek bisecting the site to Wildfire restrictions. Five buildings are carefully arranged along opposing banks—linked by a footbridge over a small seasonal creek. The creek was cleaned out, re-vegetated with native species, and re-purposed as a part of a linked community open space/walking trail
