Inscape Publico provides
affordable schematic design services to build your new facility, expand your existing space, or do a complete renovation. To accomplish this, we analyze the physical conditions of the site, make sure we understand the character, mission and needs of your organization and those that you serve and develop a program that speaks directly to your particular project. We use drawings and 3D images to clearly communicate our design.

Inscape Publico ofrece servicios de diseño a accesibles precios a nuestros clientes sin ánimos de lucro que desean construir un nuevo proyecto, ampliar un existente espacio, o hacer una remodelación completa. Nuestros servicios de diseño producen una solución creativa a una oportunidad de diseño espacial. Para cumplir con esto, analizamos las condiciones físicas del sitio, asegúrandonos de que entendemos el carácter, la misión y las necesidades de cada cliente, y desarrollamos un programa que resuena directamente con el proyecto en particular. Utilizamos dibujos e imágines tridimensionales para comunicar claramente nuestro diseño.
Nuestro producto, el cual incluye planos, secciones e imágines tridimensionales, permiten a nuestros clientes compartir la visión del proyecto con su comunidad, junta de directores, personal, instituciones financieras, funcionarios del gobierno, y mas importante, donantes potenciales. Nuestra presentación del diseño conceptual describe las características físicas del proyecto, que permite a los clientes obtener precisos costos de construcción y fijar metas razonables para recaudar fondos. La información que proveemos a nuestros clientes permite comprender la viabilidad de su visión y avanzar con confianza.

So many nonprofits have wonderful missions and great aspirations but lack the capacity to follow through with a capital campaign. That’s why we call our clients our “partners,” because we’re completely committed to seeing a project through to the end and we want our partners to do the same.

Inscape Studio, nuestra
empresa hermana, puede ofrecer completos servicios profesionales para avanzar el proyecto hacia las etapas finales. Muchas de las ONG´s tienen maravillosas misiónes y grandes aspiraciones pero lacan de la capacidad de seguir con una campaña para recaudar fondos. Es por eso que llamamos a nuestros clientes nuestros “socios”, porque estamos completamente comprometidos a cumplir un proyecto hasta el final y queremos que nuestros socios puedan hacer lo mismo.

Our Partner, REPAIR THE WORLD
makes tangible differences in lives and communities, infusing them with Jewish values, learning about historical and social contexts that surround the issues, reflecting on their experiences, and assessing their impact. They connect to social justice leaders that came before them, the organizations on the ground, and individuals already engaged in this work, whose vision and activism creates real change. They become deeply involved in their neighborhoods, build strong relationships, and partner with experts to work towards a more just world.

FUNDING was secured using Inscape Publico’s schematic design package which was provided at 30% of market rate fee. CONSTRUCTION was
completed using documents by Inscape Studio, adapting the design prototype for sites in Detroit, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

There doesn’t seem to be a day goes by that a new restaurant is not opening it’s doors in Washington, DC. Our offices at Inscape Publico are located steps from 14th and U Streets, the epicenter of this food renaissance. The abundance of food, drink, and the fraternity with our fellow Washingtonians that these establishments provide has created a wonderful playground for our local communities. What it hasn’t created, however, is a utopian society in which all share in the area’s seemingly endless prosperity. If you navigate South down 14th Street, over the bridge and onto Interstate 395, taking exit 7 towards Shirlington, you’ll wind your way to 2708 Nelson Street and the home of the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC). Inscape Publico was introduced to AFAC and their executive director Charlie Meng and immediately drawn to their mission of providing food assistance to their Arlington, VA neighbors. AFAC distributes food to over 2,000 families (8,000 individuals) per week, allowing these families to remain in their homes, workers can stay on the job, children are ready to learn, and mothers and babies have the nutrition they need.

The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. - Maya Angelou
As the median home value in Washington, DC creeps upwards toward half a million dollars, the working class, young adults, and the elderly are being priced out of the District neighborhoods they call home. Life in the city provides all of us job opportunities, convenient shopping, affordable transportation, and access to cultural activities. The benefits of living in our Nation’s Capital should be available to all age groups and income brackets. Inscape Publico is teaming with Mi Casa to provide energy efficient and socially responsible housing opportunities for our neighbors whom are ever increasingly being pushed away from family and friends and the communities with which their lives are intertwined. Mi Casa, a nonprofit provider of affordable housing for low and moderate income people in Washington, DC and Baltimore, came to Inscape Publico with the challenge to design a prototype for a low cost, energy efficient home. Our design solution is the eCasa housing prototype, a three bedroom, one and one-half bathroom home that is net zero, meaning the total amount of energy used by the homes on an annual basis will be less than the amount of energy created by the photovoltaics on the roof. The homes will be affordable, anticipated price to be $250,000 compared to $400,000-500,000 for similar market rate housing, and the long term utility costs for the residents will be negligible.
