Taking into consideration the mission of Builders of Hope, we began thinking about the site as having two possible environments: one that connects to and faces the surrounding community (ownership based) and one that looks inward, focusing on a smaller, close knit community within (rent based). This own/rent approach provides Builders of Hope, and ultimately the surrounding community, a flexibility in a market sector that often fluctuates.

In the search for greater density as well as a diverse community, the site has been organized with the duality of the site in mind. One part speaks to the neighboring houses along Davie and Alston streets, taking on the meter and scale of the existing homes in the form of single family residences while the internal dwellings exist has single and multifamily rental units within a closely connected but flexible community. Separate entrances, defined facades and deep porches create autonomy for the leased units as well as tie the homes to a greater cultural vernacular that is functional, familiar and well established.
single family dwellings
It became clear that every open space must have multiple functions. Limiting the size and scope of the road allows for greater green space while also connecting open areas between the individual units. A lateral plan allows the continuation of the private spaces from the individual houses to the more public spaces such as yards, sidewalks and streets. An avenue can also function as central gathering area for such events like block parties and recreational space for neighborhood children.
