Connective Transit Communities

Kennedy Frazier

The Vision

People who can't afford to live within the city are usually pushed out into the suburban area where it's more affordable.

E.g. Young adults, families, etc.

Due to the extension of the light rail, transportation will make it more accessible for people in South Phoenix to transit to the heart of the city for business; as well as bring in business to the south parts of Phoenix. This will help connect residential and business areas by bringing them together in closer proximity in a more affordable way.

General Site Analysis Overview

Sketches of different floor layouts, that show indoor vs. outdoor spaces, that were slowly developed into the design.

Here are some graphics illustrating how commercial, public spaces, and residential private spaces slowly intertwine throughout the site of the project.

Different commercial spaces for the public's use are on the ground floor. Ranging from: a café, a mini supermarket, a restaurant, a leasing office, a clothing store, and storage space for the farmers market and any outdoor events held within the courtyard.

Any other public spaces from the second floor up are secluded for the residents. Ranging from community spaces, lounge areas, a gym area, and the fourth floor dedicated to only workspaces for users who need more space to work and/or study.

Unit Types: Townhouses, Studio, 1 Bedroom, & 2 Bedroom
