In this case, however, unit plans, which, as in the Cloverdale duplexes, separate the household into sleeping (i.e. bedrooms) on the second floor and “living” below, are dominated by amenities, including optional sundecks or sunrooms, and the ubiquitous three-car garage. Kitchens are in the center, as part of an exploded or dispersed core that typically includes pantry, powder room, and laundry, bisected by a passageway and adjoining stair. Houses are sited on a minimum of about one-third of an acre, and the entire development of 52 houses is surrounded by a wooded “conservation area.” Compare these formulas, again, to the more modest Pinhook Flats at Aksarben Village, in Omaha, Nebraska, “Where life comes in first.” 36 Built on the grounds of a former harness racing track, Pinhook Flats featured, as of December 2012, studio, one, and two bedroom rental units from ranging from 481 to 1,081 square feet. A major developer of the mixed-use but predominantly residential complex made up mainly of four-story apartment buildings is the aptly named Alchemy Development. In March 2015, Alchemy announced the most recent planned addition to Aksarben Village, a 53-unit apartment building named Cue. Also in Aksarben Village, though developed separately, is The Broadmoor, where “style and architecture are a priority. Kitchens are designed for entertaining with granite islands and open floor plans. Need room for that ‘small’ shoe collection? Walk-in closets are standard in all bedrooms. Nine-foot ceilings and large decks add to the feeling of spaciousness. And when you need a little sanctuary, retreat to your own oval soaking tubs. No detail for stylish living has gone overlooked.” 37 Unit plans are compact, with balconies, open kitchens, and windows along one wall. Like New York by Gehry, Cloverdale 749, and the houses at Eden Prairie Woods, housing here is named—distinctively. As of mid-2015, a one-bedroom, one-bath apart- 10 ft 20 ft Toll Brothers, Stansbury model, Eden Prairie Woods, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, approved 2001.

According to miamicondolifestyle.com: The kinetic nature of Wind by Neo provided the inspiration to create a completely different urban living environment with flexible spaces that are adaptable to each person’s individual preferences. From Exo-Rooms—11-foot deep spaces which function as outdoor living areas—to the interior K-Rooms—kinetic residences with flexible indoor spaces—Wind by Neo is sure to meet the ever changing lifestyles of its occupants by offering maximum flexibility in a downtown living experience. 41 10 ft 20 ft Humphreys & Partners Architects, Pinhook Flats, developed by Alchemy Development Corp., Aksarben Village, Omaha, Nebraska, completed in 2012. Typical unit plans, clockwise from top left: Strike the Gold (studio), Unbridled (two-bedroom), Timeless Design (live/work one-bedroom). Drawn by Nabila Morales Pérez. Between December 2014 and April 2015, nine units sold in Wind by Neo, from one to three bedrooms, at an average price of about $350,000. 42 Assuming a fully paid mortgage and no additional capital, ownership of a unit in Wind by Neo probably puts residents somewhere in the fourth quintile, or the top 40 percent (in the middle of Piketty’s “middle class”) by wealth, exclusive of other income.
