Positioned at the intersection of urban growth and neighborhood charm, Willa responds to its surroundings with a courtyard-centered layout that brings light, air, and a sense of retreat to the heart of the block. The site’s depth naturally supports this form, creating a shaded communal space that enhances comfort and connection.
While Bouldin remains defined by low-density, early 20th-century cottages, South First Street’s designation as a Core Transit Corridor invites larger-scale development. Willa embraces this opportunity while respecting its context through zoning-required setbacks that shape a stepped massing, allowing the building to taper toward its residential neighbors. The result is a sensitive, site-driven infill project that reflects both the evolving city and the character of its established neighborhood.
