Franklin Court is a collection of seven new town homes in the El Presidio Historic Neighborhood in downtown Tucson. The concept was to create a project that mirrored its surroundings, creating a seamless blend of old and new. The design challenge was to create very livable residences on very small lots in a dense setting. Each residence is therefore set flush to the front property lines, and each residence has a unique courtyard, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors in the Latin American tradition. Michael Keith (the developer/builder/mastermind) integrated many “green” materials making this a very innovative project.
