Mixed use is being embraced by communities as a way to bring residential into its commercial neighborhoods. This provides walkability for residents and liveliness to commercial areas in the evening which is a win all around. Katherine has designed a variety of mixed-use projects. 961 Gravenstein Hwy South has 8 apartments over 8 commercial spaces on a main street of Sebastopol CA with a tuck under garage accessed downhill in the rear. She has designed several with townhouses in the rear with commercial buildings in front so that the uses are detached but remain on the same lot. Mixed-use can have a variety of design responses and is excellent for infill locations.
