Urbal Architecture

We design single-family homes, urban mixed-use projects and senior housing communities.

We design housing, all types of housing — from new single-family homes, additions, and remodels to large urban infill mixed-use and senior housing communities. We love the challenge of working at different scales, in different regions, for different clients. A lot of practices specialize in a certain size, type, or style of housing, but we have found great benefits in variety. The rigors of laying

out a large multifamily building leads to economic efficiencies in our single family projects, while the minute details of our single family work remind us not to overlook the small stuff in our multifamily residences. Our senior housing work, in particular, has made us experts at navigating complex codes and regulations. These skills benefit all our clients, leaving more time and budget for thoughtful, sensitive, and innovative design

An 8,000 square foot entry plaza and 2,000 square foot roof deck serve as welcoming hubs for learning, play, and relaxation.
