The Woods apartments have a varied façade to create the desired aesthetic of interconnected buildings along the streetscape. Landscaped medians provide visual interest and aid in traffic calming since the final phase will connect two major arteries running through the town. These measures were a major selling point in the Borough's acceptance of zoning variances including allowances for higher density residences. Apartment residents have access to under-building parking and a rooftop amenity added late in the design process to enhance pre-sales initiatives. The resulting flat roof area nestles between two gables at the main street. Mechanical equipment screening acknowledges that there is no "back door" for the building. To reduce the perceived scale of the homes and create the desired streetscape as an extension of the surrounding town, porches are modestly sized, many of the garages are tucked behind the homes and there are no duplicate materials combinations among the 80 residences. The two-story townhomes and carriage homes are designed for first floor living, with second floors function- ing as bonus space for a guest bedroom, game room, office, or hobby room. Both townhome models and one of the carriage home models incorporate a shaft for a residential elevator option. Phase 2 additional housing is currently under construction and continues the initial premise of integrating the homes into the surrounding townscape. Supplement to Environments for Aging 95
