Patriot Park
​
MBL used context-sensitive design to help navigate a complex web of City, County, and State agencies and bring affordable housing to veterans in the City of Fayetteville AR. Patriot Park had been in concept for many months with different architects, struggling to gain support from key stakeholders among several overlapping layers of government. MBL was brought in to re-imagine the project and bring everyone together around a shared vision. Beginning with urban site design, MBL moved the project away from previous plans that called for a large garden style apartment building on the heavily sloping site. MBL instead proposed a series of nine separate walkup buildings, each situated at a different elevation along the sloping terrain. The smaller buildings also allowed the project to fit in with the surrounding single-family neighborhood and architecturally respond to different frontage conditions that include both a significant commercial arterial as well as sleepy neighborhood streets. Using the same prototypical approach MBL pioneered in it’s award-winning Pattern Zones projects, the firm designed a variegated series of high-efficiency walkup apartment buildings according to the Arkansas Usability Standards in Housing, which protect residents of affordable housing developments by going far beyond typical Fair Housing and building code standards. The project is currently under construction and slated for completion in 2024.
