Concept

Framework: Growing Through the Cracks

The concept of the building is based on the idea of resilience - how a small plant can thrive in an unlikely environment.

Our client, Feast: World Kitchen strives to bring people together with food and help people share culture with each other through food. At the Perry Center, this idea is fostered to help grow the community of South Perry and help people put down new roots, be they an immigrant chef of feast, someone transitioning from homelessness, or a young member of the community looking for their place in the world . It is about new growth in hard times and thriving in unexpected ways and places. With the rapidly changing world around us, I want to create a community hub where people feel comfortable and safe, where they can thrive in a welcoming and lively space.
