Abstract/Artist Statement

The following proposal is for the redevelopment of the existing Bradford Apartments housing complex, located on the corner of Rosemarie Lane and Manchester Avenue in Stockton, California. The residential dwelling provides low income housing to local residents of the Stockton community. The current condition of the property lacks the necessary safety and legal compliance with governing regulatory standards. Therefore, TV3 Consultants suggests that total demolition and redesign of the site may be in the best interest of the client and the local community. TV3 Consultants intends to provide a modern design solution that is economical, efficient, and in compliance with current design specifications. The main components of design include, but are not limited to, design of two timber structures for apartment units, a timber recreational clubhouse, shallow foundation design, general site development and drainage design. The implementation of timber is not only typical of such residential structures, but is also beneficial when considering construction time and costs. TV3 Consultants believes its design recommendation, upon implementation, can benefit the ongoing demand for low income housing in the local Stockton community, while complying within the required budget, design, and temporal constraints.
