Project Infromation Location: Berrien Springs, MI Client: Lutheron Church Colaborated with: Celeena Seats & Sara Kotanko
Community Center I collaborated with Celeena Seats to develop an urban development for the Lutheran church, our client. The site is approximately 9 acres and it has an elementary school and the Lutheran church towards the front. We added a road and design different varieties of affordable housing for college student who attend school nearby as well for retired church members who wanted to live closer to church and be more part of the community. We particular focused on the development of the connection between the school and church that was separated by a big parking lot by designing a community center that both facilities will use as well as a place to hold events to involve different age groups who will be living there to be involved with each other.
