This conceptual design is for a design competition for a mixed-use 25-unit affordable apartment complex in Cleveland, Ohio’s very first EcoVillage, designed with proximity to transit, recreation, and community gardens, and built using innovative green building principles. This specific project aims to be an urban artifact, with traditional portici arcades as linkages between transit centers, towers and a terrace bridge as placemakers, an internal courtyard with a folly, modern two-tiered apartments with access on alternating levels, and a roof garden with solar thermal and photovoltaic panels.
