"Redefining Home: The Magic of Pocket Home Communities"

Let's imagine vibrant, affordable neighborhoods with cozy garages and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) nestled in the backyards of each home. Here’s a design that captures the essence of community living while also introducing these new features:

  1. Home Placement: Keep the homes arranged along curved streets, preserving the charming, meandering feel.
  2. Garages/ADUs: Each backyard will host a garage or ADU, accessed via small driveways or alleyways behind the houses. These can serve as additional living spaces or workshops.
  3. Green Space: The central green space remains the heart of the neighborhood, with a winding waterway, walking paths, and a quaint gazebo for communal and intentional gatherings.
  4. Paths and Trees: Adjust the placement of trees and walking trails to integrate the new structures seamlessly into the neighborhood, while maintaining its lush and inviting atmosphere.
  5. Community Center: The larger building at the end of the green space will continue to serve as a community hub, providing a place for residents to connect and enjoy shared amenities.

Let's intentionally create homes and communities that grow, develop, and prosper together!

Pocket neighborhoods, cottage courtyards, ADUs by right. Great incremental paths for increasing traditional occupancy.

I really dig this, Al! I'm curious how you think principles like desire paths fit into this? (ie look for where folks have worn their own trail through the landscape/built environment, then structure accordingly.)
