Spurred on by the success of Residenza Italia, Residenza Ortona is the second affordable housing project our firm has completed with Residenza Affordable Housing. The 60-unit apartment building houses tenants of all ages with a focus on veterans, with 30% of units fully barrier-free or barrier-free adaptable. Clad with brick and fibre-cement siding, the building is broken into residential scale masses respectful of the domestic architecture of its neighbours. The project was designed with a strong focus on fostering community; including two indoor amenity rooms, a common kitchen, and two outdoor communal terraces nestled into the valley landscape.
This project was recognized with the LSTAR Don Smith Commercial Building Awards for Multi-Family (2021).
Nicholson Sheffield Architects is pleased to announce Becky Kernohan as the firm’s newest Associate.
