Melrose Bungalow Motel

The proposed project will adaptively use an existing seven-unit bungalow court as an 18-unit hotel. The process would begin through the demolition of one unit at rear, new construction of a 10,045 square feet,13-unit, four-story, hotel building, ground floor parking at rear, then continuing rehabilitation of one unit into the hotel lobby, rehabilitation of five residential units into five hotel units, and improvements to hardscape and landscape. 

Architecturally, the hotel building would be differentiated from the historic resource while also incorporating elements that relate to the one-story scale of the existing bungalows. The massing of the hotel building would be broken down in scale through the inclusion of extruded windows on the north elevation. The fourth-floor units would be set back, further breaking up the massing of the hotel building.
