Geneva Towers, one of San Francisco's most troubled public housing projects, was demolished in May 1998. Britton Courts provides 91 units to re-house many of the residents of Geneva Towers as well as new low-income residents. The new setting is the inverse of the isolating and dangerous high-rise environment it replaced. Britton Courts embodies the principles of neighborhood building and urban repair delineated in the Charter of the New Urbanism. The ideas underlying this project have evolved through Solomon's many years of building respectfully in San Francisco neighborhoods. 

Pedestrian-oriented streets linked to the neighborhood are defined by intimately scaled and secure eight-plexes surrounding shared courtyards. Creating a secure but welcoming environment without building a walled enclave was the principal motivation for the design.
