West of West: A More Thoughtful Approach to Infill Housing

Today’s housing landscape makes clear that conventional approaches to residential development are no longer enough. Communities across the country need design solutions that are contextual, equitable, and deeply considered.

West of West has developed a series of infill housing prototypes, shaped through dialogue with builders, developers, and city officials, offering a more thoughtful, equitable approach to housing. Our cross-disciplinary process focuses on what matters most: strong identity and curb appeal, smarter circulation from street to entry, outdoor access through yards and landscapes, intentional openings that balance privacy with light and air, and contextual massing that respects its surroundings while fostering community. The result is housing that strengthens communities, supports wellbeing, and redefines how we live together.
