Description:
Royal Court is a development of 54 apartment homes designed to be affordable to families earning below the median family income. Built by non-profit builder South County Housing, these homes and the adjoining single-family detached houses, also designed by KTGY, fill in a derelict, underutilized, brown field site. The homes are designed to complement the agrarian nature of Morgan Hill, while allowing for a fairly high density. Architecture responds to site dualities with striking geometry, animated by prominent roof and balcony forms that tie to adjacent detached homes. Bold palette adds distinctively contemporary tone to siding patterns that further underscore community’s agrarian heritage. Simple massing joined with time-honored materials and an attention to the details has created homes that seem at once contemporary and traditional. National accolades include three Gold Nugget Awards of Merit.
