Aspendale Littleton

This active adult community is located along C-470. The challenge along the west façade was to take advantage of the spectacular view while also having to mitigate highway noise. Another design challenge was the elongated site with a significant slope. The resulting design uses detached garages along the west boundary as sound walls and breaks the façade into a highly articulated mass that both beaks up the highways sound and presents a animated and vibrant façade frequently animated with balconies. the building cuts into the hill to give the appearance of a 3-story building for half of the building’s width. A fully enclosed pool courtyard ensures protection from highway noise.
