Rooftops on 2 stories can serve several living conditions and habits while collecting stormwater and storing municipal water.

Common outdoor spaces would gather people in the shade of planted trees to chit-chat, play, and rest.

A large ground area is provided in each designated major waste collection node for waste trucks.

Commercial spaces are designed to provide for a considerable exterior for sellers and create an inviting commercial corridor

Rising Families

SummerTransferProgram2018 Charlottesville, Virginia is a city whose focal point is the University of Virginia, which serves as a characteristic element of its identity. This identity creates a natural void of family-friendly housing arond the area. This design proposes creating a manifestation of the suburb within that urban environment with vast green spaces existing within tiers of common circulation, both creating a “vertical suburb� in the city.
