Thanks Phil and CSNA. That makes more sense, and is not quite so awful. However, I still think that this is poor architecture from a street level standpoint. It still has a garage entrance in the front of the building, and an entirely blank wall on the side.

Instead, they could have put the garage entrance off the alley which appears to exist. To match the townhouses next door, they could have made some townhouse units with front stairs and/or porches along the V Street side.

The green barrier makes it almost impossible to put in a corner cafe or dry cleaner or something in the future if the neighborhood's needs call for it; corner properties should retain that option wherever possible. And in general, it feels like this property is trying to wall itself off from the neighborhood. I don't think that's what you want.
