Granada Court reintroduces the courtyard housing typology to Pasadena’s Playhouse District. By arranging such higher density buildings and their units around interior courtyards, urban living becomes more desirable and pleasant and real estate values are dramatically increased.

This complex unites and modulates interior and exterior spaces among 31 units of luxury apartments over a 50-car subterranean parking garage. Arranged in flats and townhouses, the units are oriented around three distinct courtyards: two internal pedestrian courts and one external auto court. Each unit features private balconies and decks or patios overlooking the courtyards. In addition, each has a separate space for a private office or study; some units include a unique double-height space. The uppermost rooms take advantage of beautiful views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the nearby Pasadena Civic Center.
