  • 2007 Builder's Choice Winner: Ico At Playa Vista -- Plan 1

    For architect Eric Zuziak, inspiration for this unusual duplex wasn't hard to find. The contemporary lines and strong geometry of the three-story Los Angeles residence echo those seen in his own home.

     
  • 2007 Builder's Choice Winner: Latitudes South At Vantis

    In conceiving the most poetic use of this bluff-top location overlooking downtown Aliso Viejo, William Hezmalhalch Architects considered not just how to frame the site's killer views for those who would live there, but also how the residences along the perimeter would be seen from below.

     
  • 2007 Builder's Choice Winner: Three-65 At Victoria Gardens

    The problem facing the architect and developer of Three-65 at Victoria Gardens was how to tie this infill project (mixing flats and townhouses) into a neighborhood of single-family detached homes to the north and a recently opened regional mall to the south.

     
  • 2007 Builder's Choice Winner: Chattanooga Street Duplex

    Architects Lise De Vito and Jim Zack played all the key roles in this urban infill project. Not only did they design the duplex, the husband and wife team also acted as contractor and client, keeping half the space for their own use.

    Home Builders Assists War Veterans.

    Jeff Burton, president of American Dream Development, raised more than a few eyebrows when he bought the site of an old drive-in theater on Grant Avenue in Junction City, Kan., to build a townhome neighborhood. No one had ever built for-sale townhomes in Junction City, a community of about 19,000 people, about an hour west of Topeka, Kan.

     
  • Victorian Lite

    At first glance, you wouldn't peg the 132 residences of Victoria Green in Hercules, Calif., as affordable rental housing. With their deep overhangs, hipped roofs, and crisp fretwork, they look too pretty. And with their panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay, one might easily assume these coastal beauties come with a much higher price tag. After all, they're part of a larger master plan that includes market-rate homes selling for upwards of $1 million.

    Success Stories: Compact Classic

    Larry I. Smith, Inland Empire regional president for William Lyon Homes, says the Newport Beach, Calif.–based builder likes the idea of going against the flow. In fact, that's exactly where it wants to be.

     
  • Aggressive Urban Building

    In the past, The Corky Mc-Millin Cos. would almost always sell to other builders and developers parcels within its master planned communities that were zoned for attached-home construction. Not anymore.

     
  • PROJECT Grand for best attached housing project—over 4 stories

    The newest resident in Oakland's Jack London Square neighborhood makes a great first impression. Amid-rise luxury building with 70 condominiums and four live/work units on just under a half acre, it proves that high density and great visual impact aren't mutually exclusive. Almost a full city block in length, the massing of the six-story project is broken up with colorful, boxy bays and generous glazing. The bold, modern look further enhances the once-gritty, now rapidly revitalizing community.

     
  • Award Best Attached Housing CA

    The quaint Northern California town of Campbell has a few claims to fame. It's the original home to e-Bay and the birthplace of fruit cocktail (although the latter remains a topic of some dispute). These days it's getting noticed for an expanding light-rail system and a subsequent boom of transit-oriented development. The walkable downtown, which is served by three light-rail stations, is attracting young urbanites as well as move-down buyers in search of a small-town atmosphere with easy access to Silicon Valley.
