Stoney Pine Affordable Housing, All, HUD
Sunnyvale, California

This 23-unit affordable housing development, at the northeast corner of California and Mathilda Avenues in Sunnyvale, provides independent living for developmentally disabled individuals.

The three two-story residential buildings surround an interior courtyard and interconnect via a covered arcade. The community room opens onto the courtyard by means of a great door to allow the room to expand into the courtyard for large gatherings. The door also transforms into a large movie screen, allowing residents to view films during warm summer evenings.

The apartment configurations, one- and two-bedroom units, were carefully planned based on direct input from the developmentally disabled community. Amenities include ceiling light fixtures, refrigerators, gas ranges, and gas-fired, electric ignition wall heaters. Each unit has a microwave oven, as this request has been repeatedly heard from the developmentally disabled community. Approximately 32 residents are accommodated here, including the resident manager, who is an employee of Charities Housing Development Corporation and is responsible for management tasks related to the complex. The density of the project is 27 units per acre.
