A Community-Oriented Approach
We care for our community and focus on building agency, resiliency, and access locally. We can work with cities and organizations to help you create a strategy for building housing and public amenities over time. We are knowledgeable in alternative ownership and financing models and will work with you to develop long-term plans towards housing and community goals.
We can customize housing solutions for multiple scales:
- Individual neighborhoods
- Community organizations
- Land trusts
- Multi-family developments on single-family properties
Community Capacity Building:
- Extensive experience working with diverse communities
- Reusable designs that can be adapted across projects
- Knowledge-sharing to empower community-led development
Housing Policy Expertise:
- we have expertise and experience and understand the evolving landscape of housing policy and leverage changes to create more accessible, affordable housing:
- We work with partners on navigating new regulations for multi-family developments on single-family properties
- In partnership we can identify opportunities within policy changes to maximize community benefit i.e. developing new preapproved designs / plans
- Focusing on small-scale projects that collectively create significant impact
A Future-Oriented Approach
We feel a deep obligation to the future through our designs. On the one hand, this is seen through a commitment to healthy materials and accessibility. Our homes and communities should care for us. And they should adapt to us as our needs change. This is also seen through a commitment to designing in a time of climate destabilization and continuing to question how we design in a more allied relationship with our planet.
Our designs are:- future-proofed for evolving needs
- built with healthy, sustainable materials
- optimized for long-term livability
- customizable to diverse community contexts
