Creating an Inclusive Community

SITE CONTEXT  Through the thoughtful location of uses and design of the elevations, the new buildings connect an unusual mix of existing uses including single family homes, a community health center and railroad tracks into a new affordable housing community.

COMMUNITY USES  A childcare center and a community center for the neighborhood offer social connections and activity into the new development. The existing neighbors are welcomed into the site and the new residents can immediately feel be part of the community.

CONSTRUCTION PHASING  The site plan carefully arranges the program into two buildings to allow for possible construction phasing and includes a more “active” building where the residents share their area with community wide uses and a more “private” building where the majority of the resident’s community outdoor space is located.
