Franklin Court is a collection of seven new town homes in the El Presidio Historic Neighborhood in downtown Tucson. The concept was to create a project that mirrored its surroundings, creating a seamless blend of old and new. The design challenge was to create very livable residences on very small lots in a dense setting. Each residence is therefore set flush to the front property lines, and each residence has a unique courtyard, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors in the Latin American tradition. Michael Keith (the developer/builder/mastermind) integrated many “green” materials making this a very innovative project. This residence has an entry “zaguan” or hall that connects the very public street entry with the very private rear courtyard. The zaguan is flanked by a formal living area on one side and the kitchen and dining areas on the other. The more private bedrooms are upstairs, tucked underneath a sheltering hipped roof.

A pergola is an outdoor garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which woody vines are trained.[1] The origin of the word is the Late Latin pergula, referring to a projecting eave. As a type of gazebo, it also may be an extension of a building or serve as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions. They are different from green tunnels, with a green tunnel being a type of road under a canopy of trees. Sometimes, pergolas are confused with arbours (arbors in American English) and often, the terms are used interchangeably. Generally, an arbour is regarded as wooden bench seats with a roof, usually enclosed by lattice panels forming a framework for climbing plants; in evangelical Christianity, brush arbour revivals occur under such structures.[2] A pergola, on the other hand, is a much larger and more open structure. Normally, a pergola does not include integral seating.
