Location: Portland, OR
Status: Unbuilt
Size: Five 1,325 sq ft homes on a 5,000 sq ft lot
Description: Proposed cottage cluster residences to include five 2-story units with basements and habitable attics

Situated on a corner lot along an alley, this 5,000 sq ft lot offers an ideal opportunity to access an abundance of light while utilizing the alley's zero setback.

Compact 450 sq ft footprints create five single family homes. Through the City of Portland's Middle Housing Land Division, each home would be its own lot of record with no HOA.

The common green space that binds them is a shared amenity for all the homes to enjoy, and is governed through a communal cooperative. The spaces between offer opportunities for views, privacy and plants to flourish. In a dense urban area, one of the city's major commercial centers is a stone's throw away.
