This over 90-home district in Lafayette, Louisiana, was designed to build a diverse community of people at all points in their lives. Each prototype townhouse is geared towards these various lifestyles. By mixing the conventional starter home type with apartment types and townhome types a true community can form.
The randomizing of the prototypes is then further customized with its own identity by using a matrix of materials, colors and changing doors, a sort of mass customization. To keep from being too randomized the neighborhood palette is limited to five colors and galvanized steel cladding on the upper floors and the ground floor is four different brick colors. This matrix ensures that no two homes are alike.
