A SMALL-SCALE COMMUNITY WITH A BIG SENSE OF PLACE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS

The living environment of Thorton Cottages is a welcome alternative to the overcrowded and impersonal atmosphere found in many of today’s condo and townhouse developments. The approach here is to build 18 detached single-dwelling cottages, ranging from 950 square feet to 1,150 square feet, around an inviting and open common green zone. With its smaller size and inclusive configuration, Thorton Cottages creates a greater sense of community on a more human scale. It’s the kind of living environment that allows people to be more than just inhabitants, and actually feel, live and act like neighbors.
