Flat Lands: A New Green Project in Fishtown

Start

Philly Brownstoner has a report on Onion Flats‘ latest project in Fishtown. As always, there’s an astute emphasis on stormwater management:

The modern take on rowhouses with single-car parking calls for three-story homes set back at least 18 feet, and fronted by driveways of permeable pavers and walkways of long, terraced steps. The walkways would be lined with trellises and a trough to catch rainwater and feed a lush planter system.

The developers will need to secure zoning variances to divide the lot into 14 units.
