currently a park and ride for the 19th / dunlap lightrail stop, the site is identified as an emerging gateway district, transit oriented development in the 19north community. 19north is a tight-knit community whose development plan envisions the site as a medium-density, mixed-use development , rezoned to the wu code.

housing as a commodity is a highly individualized experience, and social housing can be an isolating experience. approaches to social housing are often focused on maximizing unit counts, where the value is placed on the building itself. this project places the value on the user experience and human connections rather than on the building itself.

in natural ecosystems, diversity is necessary for systems to adapt and continue to survive and thrive on earth; resiliency. this project looks at communities through that same lens; incorporating diversity in a series of interdependent yet interconnected pieces to create a resilient community.

the proposal calls for a mixed-use, mixed-income, intergenerational housing complex, using affordable housing as the model for creating urban environments that reconnect people to nature as well as create opportunities to socially connect with each other.
