The New Urban Home
The places that we choose to call
home have reinvented themselves many times, attempting to merge faultlessly
with a variety of environments. The New Urban Home encourages the modern
desires for flexibility and novelty without forgetting the intimacy of
a private refuge. Not a condominium, a townhouse, or a loft, the New Urban
Home is a piece of tangible ideology.
Modern European design earns credit as an inspiration to the New Urban Home,
particularly the community of waterfront homes on Borneo-Sporenburg, Amsterdam.
The
development of this master urban program gave birth to the unconventional ‘patio
house,’ a distinctive home that offers personal outdoor space, complimented
by shared gardens. Additionally, every house has a unique facade and design,
divorcing monotony and uniformity from the concept of community living.
Blue Star Corner, the premier New Urban Home, is a realization of European urbanity
merged with our idealized American dream. With its pedestrian mews aisles, semi-private
patios, and a matrix of distinct but complementary facades, Blue Star Corner
is Dutch modernism brought home to Emeryville, California.
