senior housing
program:
A five-story senior-living building includes 36 single-occupancy units, a first floor community center, and a green roof terrace.
design solution:
Our design team creatively developed a scheme that achieved the desired density on a tight infill site on Missouri Avenue in NW Washington D.C. We were challenged with restricted zoning parameters and specific programmatic needs for this senior population.
The design team was awarded a Green Communities Grant to help fund the sustainable aspects of this project which were achieved through exterior material selection, shading devices, and a habitable green roof terrace. My role in this project included site visits, construction drawings, design team meetings, and consultant correspondence.
