Architecture for Housing
The Dignity of Housing
Housing, over a broad range of income categories, represents one of the primary needs of our society – the need for human shelter. As such, housing stands as an expression of our well-being. Whether market rate or subsidized, well-designed housing provides dignity and stability to our lives. It further represents an investment in our communities stemming from the permanent roots established by residents in the basic building blocks of neighborhood life.
Experience
The firm's experience in housing has been recognized through various design awards: Community Development Award 2007, NJ Department of Community Affairs for Leewood In-town Homes; Governor’s Award for Outstanding Development Project 2001 for Leewood Willow Green Townhomes; HUD Award 1998, US Department of Housing and Urban Development for Circle F–Senior Housing.
Advocacy
Housing extends beyond any single project. It creates a stabilizing influence in neighborhoods in all categories of subsidized and market-rate housing, whether rental or homeownership opportunities. Issues of environmental and economic sustainability also come into play when designing individual homes as well as rising concerns about accessibility that allow options like aging in place and inclusivity.
