Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico (2001)
View from Below
Townhouse apartments with secure courtyards, covered parking and extraordinary views of the unspoiled Carraizo country side and lakes. 21 townhouse units surround a landscaped courtyard.
These unique apartments provide parents with visual supervision of their children at play within a secure-cloistered environment. Cars are located below the courtyard, away from pedestrians. Views to the courtyard boast a landscaped environment, not the omni-present parking lot, common in walk-up apartment living in Puerto Rico.
The design follows the contour of the sloped site, saving on earthwork, retaining walls and maximizing the unit yield of the property.
