In this course, we worked to create housing that met the needs of the area near Northeastern University in Boston. We transformed a triangular site by adding a proposed road to run through the site. My proposal included shared balconies to promote community through the project, a split level building to reduce circulation and accommodate the site topography, and a distinct unit arrangement to mold to the needs of the community. In my project, I proposed adding housing which caters to both students and families, a public park with infrastructure for covered pop-up shops, a community garden, outdoor gathering space, and a cafe. My main design idea was to create a housing
building comprised of modules of two hexagons that change direction through vertical levels.
