Statement

Trailer parks have evolved into their own cultural landscape from the initial placement of individual prefabricated dwelling units on uncultivated land. The proportions of a trailer as dictated by the allowable widths for transport, influenced the lifestyles of their inhabitants. Concurrently, a comfort for a linear style of living has become evident over time. The trailer settlement and its particular lifestyle is reinvented on the site in a more permanent manner by creating a system that recognizes the value and the comfort developed for the elongated unit or units, the notions of prefabricated components, and quick construction.

Valuable green space is allowed to flow up between through the long residential groupings providing each of the units with a "backyard." A denser interior circulation and utility core provides a common connection between the individual units as well as between the yard space and the parking lot which flank the north and south borders of the site. First floor passages run perpendicular to the direction of the main circulation path providing front porches to the units while allowing one to filter through the site and experience the striations.
