Essential Communities is a part of a non-profit organization designed as a training facility for Autism Spectrum Disordered young adults.

This training facility is located in Seattle, Washington for the purpose of educating young adults through creative stimulation, independent care, and work training skills.

We aim to provide a safe and comforting space where the young adults can develop life skills through bridging the gap between autism and the local community. Through extensive research and field study, each level in our overall program is to be inviting and encouraging through an educational experience. To stimulate all the senses, our design includes an appealing color palette of pastel colors, an appealing aroma of essential oils, calming sounds through water flowing, savoring of delicious bakery goods and overall stimulation through differing subtle textures.

The wade tiny house was designed for many reasons to help out in the community of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This house can serve as a refuge for a natural disaster, a shelter to get homeless men and women off the streets and back into the workforce and be a help in society and also for low - income or college grad students that are just starting out or need some help getting up off the ground. The tiny house will maximize the 400 square foot layout featuring an open concept floor plan with floor to ceiling windows in the living room to add an abundance of natural light to the entire space. The back bedroom can fit a queen bed or if needed twin beds to offer as much sleeping space as possible with a generously sized closet which will also be used for additional storage.
