Live Work Space

Some examples from initial data collection:

Slip House by Carl Turner Architects:
Example of a live/work home using the concept of "living over working".
The idea is stacking of boxes with different uses with the most public space on the lowest floor and the most private on the top floor.

Jesuits at Brophy College Preparatory by DeBartolo Architects:
While this is a compound for priests and this is communal living, this showcases an alternative to blending public and private space in a live/work community.

Artspace:
Artspace utilizes a variety of different types of properties to create artist communities in cities across the country.  Most seem to use the model where the artist's unit is a large studio space in which the artist both lives and creates their artwork.  Ground floor levels of most of the communities have retail spaces and community gallery type spaces.
Note: floor plans are available for a number of these properties through the individual property websites.
