Hamburg Township
Hamburg Township is a rural / suburban town North of Ann Arbor located along a series of glacial lakes. The city has historically held tightly to its’ identity as a ‘small town’, but recently a city driven push for more elderly affordable housing was added to their zoning code. This project focused on an increase in density and consulting on their zoning code language.
The site is a 42 acre property surrounding a large wetland. The project was originally zoned for 27 homes on one acre lots, but by understanding the zoning code 51 homes became the maximum density with 20 being elderly cottage housing opportunity (ECHO) units. This design intended on creating a classic, dense, Michigan neighborhood while enabling the construction of 20 small ECHO homes.
Location: Hamburg Township, MI
