Acacia Meadows Multifamily
Housing
West
Sacramento, CA
This 140 unit development
is grouped
into 16 simple rectilinear buildings on an 8 acre site. The
units
are reserved for low- and extremely low-income residents.
Amenities include a large community center with a swimming
pool.
The project blends well with the adjacent small-lot
single-family
houses and condominiums. The lots on the perimeter of the
site
are reserved for "sweat equity" owner-built single-family houses.
Also, another lot can be seen at middle right which is
reserved
for a Senior midrise tower. When the entire project is built
out,
a vibrant, diverse community will be the result.
This
economical development is clad entirely in fiber cement panel siding.
Stairs and railings are unobtrusive and
provide transparency
and a feeling of lightness. The straightforward fenestration
belies a mix of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units.
