Applied Architecture is excited about our iterations of design study for a small but very important site in midtown Sacramento. This tiny 40×80 parcel is across the street from one of Sacramento’s best known Victorians (a masterpiece with turrets on a raised site); a full block of infill known as Tapestry Square which includes bold colors, traditional architecture and brick detailing; and adjacent to a row of historic bungalow houses which all have prominent porches.
The design is being carefully considered – by working back and forth with City staff interactively. The goal is to balance the two street frontages to be respectful to all of the varied contextual massing, character, materials and colors.
