Hillside Apartments

Completed in 2014, Hillside Apartments located in Pearisburg, Virginia was our first project with the Severn Companies.  Our extensive experience in affordable housing as well as experience with the VHDA Low Income Tax credit Program became the catalysts that started our relationship with them.  The 36 unit renovation began with covering the plywood siding with continuous insulation and brick façade to enhance its exterior appeal while providing the residents with homes that were significantly more energy efficient.   Additionally, a new community building was constructed on site to afford and the residents a central location for amenities such as laundry and a community room.  Steep slopes presented challenges in creating areas of accessibility and sidewalks throughout the landscape, but RPH was able to successfully design elements that allowed for accessibility for all of the residents.
