Yachats, Oregon - 2007
THE PROJECT
This mixed use complex, commercial with residential above, features four three-story structures grouped along the Pacific Coast Hiway.
As the first of its kind in Yachats, Oregon, extreme care was used in coordinating the planning with City and ODOT officials.
Each of the four structures has retail space on the ground level with easy parking access facing the hiway and can be used as one unit or two.
The two upper levels of each structure have access off an elevated rear street and contain the potential for two one-story or one two-story
"luxury" residential units with ocean views.
THE SITE
A large, split level city site located between Highway 101 and the residential Center Way to the east.
This site marks a transition between the commerial aspects of Highway 101 and the residential neighborhood on the hillside behind.
