Project Design Overview
KreulFroseth Architects 9/5/09
The proposed project located at 712 West Laurel Street replaces a single family residence occupying two
lots equaling a .29 acre parcel. The Tudor -style residence has been functioning as a college student
rental for the past twenty-five years due to its proximity to Colorado State University and the evolving
mixed -use neighborhood surrounding it.
The proposed new four -unit townhome style development is designed to complement the more
traditional campus architectural flavor. The site planning focus is upon saving the existing significant
trees and providing private outdoor courtyard areas for the residents. The roof slopes, elements of
fenestration and massing or the two-story units reflect some of the existing architectural features of the
original campus buildings such as the original Industrial Arts building near the intersection of West
Laurel and Howes Streets. The entry courtyard is defined by a partial wall accented by columns inspired
by those marking the major entrances to the campus. The site plan shows intent to provide units with
various setbacks from the street in keeping with traditional residential proportions and overall massing.
The major pedestrian entrance gate connects to the main sidewalk adjacent to West Laurel Street
directly across from current student housing on the CSU campus. While the project lies within the
Transportation Overlay District (T.O.D.), designated by the City of Fort Collins, some parking is proposed
to the north with -direct alley and pedestrian and bicycle access.
