DESCRIPTION
Nestled in the heart of Palo Alto's Ventura neighborhood, Wilton Court stands as a remarkable four-story fully electric building. Its thoughtful design offers an array of on-site amenities, including a spacious community room with kitchen facilities, a serene podium garden area, a well-equipped computer lab, convenient laundry facilities, indoor and outdoor bicycle parking for fitness enthusiasts, and a dedicated package & mailroom for added convenience. With 41 parking spaces and storage lockers available, residents can enjoy both practicality and comfort in their daily lives.
Wilton Court holds a unique distinction as the first approved affordable housing project in Palo Alto since 2013. It proudly serves as the flagship initiative for the city's newly established Affordable Housing Combining District, embodying a commitment to community well-being. In partnership with the nonprofit Housing Choices, this housing complex reserves 21 of its 59 apartments for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, fostering inclusivity and support within the neighborhood.
Inside, the project's interior design is a testament to user-centric planning. Attention is paid to wayfinding through subtle changes in color and texture, ensuring accessibility for individuals of varying postures, body sizes, and mobility. The building's L-shaped structure gracefully transitions from four stories along El Camino Real to one story towards the residential neighborhood, creating a charming, semi-enclosed podium-level courtyard. This tranquil oasis, sheltered from the bustling thoroughfare, features lush landscaping, inviting lounge seating, a trellised gathering area, and a line of trees that enhance privacy.
On the ground floor, residents have access to offices, a publicly reservable community room with a well-appointed kitchen, an activity room, and a bike room, all seamlessly connected to the street for easy accessibility. The exterior design pays homage to the area's architectural vernacular with terracotta and stucco cladding, complemented by metal awnings that provide shade to the apartments from the southern and western sun.
In its commitment to sustainability, Wilton Court embraces an all-electric energy approach, offering 100% EV-compatible parking, harnessing solar power for hot water and energy needs, utilizing drought-tolerant plantings, and implementing greywater irrigation. These eco-conscious measures align with the project's goal of achieving a GreenPoint Gold rating, underscoring its dedication to a greener, more sustainable future.
