On a steeply sloping site, Monarch Hillside drives density using the HyTuck prototype to create a unique apartment community with 5 levels of wood construction. Adjacent to single-family homes and townhomes, the design provides fire access to neighboring developments. Targeted at young professionals, the community offers work-from-home accommodations, larger unit square footage, and urban-quality amenities. A central recreation space serves as a focal point, featuring an indoor/outdoor clubhouse, jacuzzi, fitness area, and two rooftop decks on the 5th level with ocean views. Modern patios with operable wood screens provide privacy and sun shading.
