We designed the Mariposa to leverage the urban condition and to promote wellness and community. Gardens, a play area, and ground floor transit encourage residents to venture outside of their respective dwellings and interact with their neighbors. The building front two streets and a new mid-block pedestrian way, inviting the greater community to utilize this urban shortcut to the adjacent light rail station.
