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.
