Quarry Road Housing at Stanford Neighborhood vision grounded in nature and connection

Stanford University Housing Quarry Conceptual Planning and Design

Bordering the Arboretum and steps from Caltrain, Quarry Road Housing creates a thoughtfully scaled community that avoids the uniformity of large-scale developments. Organized into distinct character types, the multi-building plan balances site conditions, height, and density to offer a variety of living experiences. A mid-rise urban quad energizes Quarry Road with stoop entries and retail, while a centrally located tower maximizes density with micro-units. Low-rise residences nestle within the tree canopy, connecting families to nature. Shared amenities, open spaces, and carefully considered massing cultivate a sense of incremental growth, fostering a unique and cohesive place to call home.
