Garden court residences grew out of the need for housing in urban areas after World War I. Myrtle Square, built in Dilworth in 1939, is a rare local example of the Art Moderne architectural style. The master plan seeks to reinvigorate this historic property by energizing the entries, activating high traffic spaces, integrating green infrastructural techniques, and creating dynamic outdoor spaces for community building. Historical forms of the porthole windows, modern rails, and parquet oak flooring are extended into the landscape. The planting dances through beds full of textured plants that change throughout the seasons.
