Motor Court
1989-1990
 

This project is sited between an alley and a footpath and its program contains all the detritus of a small town, commercial center. The program and the site are transitional between the commercial center and residential lots. It lies between the four story Dreamland Heights building, and the first concentric band of residential streets. It accommodates employee parking, housekeeping, mini-storage, motor cabins, and an apartment for visiting artists.

The project is comprised of two parallel rows of separate 12 by 24 foot boxes under continuous roofs, flanking a mid-block court with double loaded parking. A tower at the north end is opposite the dogtrot porch of the existing building to the south. Spaces between the boxes provide east west passage from the alley to the parking lot, access to the motor court units themselves, and passage to the residential footpath beyond.
