Canal Rim Townhouses – Palisade, Colorado
Canal Rim is a 31 unit development bordered by an
irrigation canal, organic orchard, and Town Park. Expansive views
of the Grand Mesa and Bookcliffs lie to the north and east.
The development layout
extends an existing local street to terminate in a pedestrian overlook
feature at the canal edge.
Townhouses are grouped to create open
space between building clusters and a central green space that functions
as a small park and site water management feature. Storm and irrigation
water pass through natural bio-filters to remove impurities and protect
the local watershed.
Individual units range in size from 1,900 SF
to 2,400 SF. Inner units include side patios that increase access
to fresh air and daylight and reduce overlapping interior spaces
between dwellings.

town park.
