This project began with a series of meetings with students faculty and administration staff. The program was developed as a result of these dialogs.

The brief developed for this is project required a high level of sustainability and a low budget. Located in a residential neighborhood with one frontage facing a residential street it was required to fit in with the scale of the housing

Designed to create a secluded courtyard incorporating a wetland pre-treatment system the single story residential blocks are passively heated and cooled and feature both water catchment areas and living roof systems.

Skylights enable passive solar heating to all rooms. Lofts for sleeping or storage are a feature of individual rooms here the shared areas show light penetration to the back of each building
