AFFORDABLE HOUSING

SPRING 2019

The central core of this housing project is the garden. Originally integrated as spaces for people to come together and help provide for each other, we want to use this as a guiding principle for the services that we provide and our design details. This area is underserved in mental health, physical wellness, and early childhood education facilities, therefore these services will be provided in our program, both acting as the base of the residential structure and forming the exterior community space. We will provide a shared garden that will create a source of fresh food for the people and link them within the space. Similar to the zen garden, there will be no true separation between the services, with integration across the plan being encouraged. Changes in flooring material or overhead height will accentuate the definition of spaces and uses, suggesting verandas and thresholds.
