Affari Project
Craftsman Style
Missing Middle Housing
The Mission
This sustainable project involves deconstructing a single-family residence and constructing a 12-unit apartment complex that harmonizes with the neighborhood. We minimized waste and supported the community by repurposing and donating materials to a local non-profit. The completed complex will cater to diverse housing needs while maintaining the area's charm and aesthetics.
The site for this development was selected for its proximity to downtown Missoula, the hospital, and quaint neighborhood. The initial plan was to build a modern structure set towards the back of the site. However, through a voluntary community engagement process, we learned that the neighbors wanted something that looked and felt more authentic to the existing houses on the street.
We revised the site plan to create a two-structure project that is neighbor-centric. The buildings have street-facing balconies and gardens adjacent to the sidewalk. This design creates a sense of community and makes the development feel like it belongs in the neighborhood.
We are proud to have worked with the community to create a development that is both beautiful and functional. This project provides much needed density in the urban core and is a win-win for everyone involved.
