- Urbana, Illinois
The firm redeveloped Dunbar Court, a 60-year-old 26-unit apartment complex. The redevelopment provides 26 rental units consisting of newly constructed energy-efficient one and two-story townhomes with four one-bedroom units, twelve two-bedroom units, twenty three-bedroom units and a community building. To increase the density of the site and stay within the community architectural style and exterior aesthetics, construction consisted of concrete slab with wood framed walls, ceilings, and roofs.
Since the new site was small, the firm looked to develop an underground detention system to collect all rainwater from the impervious surface parking lot. Additional items included in the overall construction were brick veneers, hardie-board siding, energy efficient windows, low VOC carpeting and painting, Energy Star appliances and lighting, wood cabinets, community building and exterior landscaping. Hamilton on the Park was designed and certified for Enterprise Green Communities.
