The Tannehill Townhomes is a medium density residential community located in a developing urban environment in east Austin. Located along MLK Boulevard, this development was an opportunity to fill a need for missing middle housing in Austin. By developing a 3 story horizontally separated housing units, we were able to achieve of a density of 12.4 units per acre with 154 total units on 12.4 acres. This community provides a central amenity that promote a neighborhood identity, while allowing for private yards and an ample opens space for a development of this density. Designing with the natural contours of the land and working around existing trees we were able to capitalize on green space views and retain tree canopies, elevating the aesthetic of the community.
