Existing corner multifamily done right: 2 stories matching neighborhood scale, anchoring the street while handling busier corners. A flexible, low impact density that complements houses + townhomes, fills vacant lots, and can even provide for parking. #TheExamplesAreAllAroundUs
3-5 story #mediumscalemediumdensity buildings, an essential building block of mixed density/income neighborhoods. #TheExamplesAreAllAroundUs
The code issues for new versions of this typology are solvable.
From a policy standpoint, we need to exploit how they contribute to neighborhood urbanism.
Small multifamily: building blocks of neighborhood variety. 5 nearly identical 6-plexes combine to form 2 larger, street-defining apartment blocks. Units wider than deep allow rear parking. 3-story #MediumScaleMediumDensity form adds presence while staying appropriate. #theexamplesareallaroundus.
#OGmissingmiddle
4-8 units
Generally, 2- 2 1/2 stories, house-like in form; scaled to fit into the neighbourhood.
