Marston Point – San Diego, California
An entire City block near downtown San Diego was redeveloped with 3 different types of infill housing. While the buildings took up much of the site, landscape areas were pivotal in conveying a sense of place and relation to the street. Turfblock paving in driveways, vine pockets floating staircases and a wide landscaped parkway helped achieve this result. The project was so successful, it became a case study for the Urban Land Institute’s book, Developing Infill Housing.
