Abstract

The Village is a sustainable co-living project meant to support the people of today working to better the future for the people of tomorrow. Living in harmony with the environment is the heart of this project by utilizing rainwater and greywater collection, communal onsite gardening, and renewable energy to run sustainably. The program was curated to encourage resident interaction and support the blossoming of a community with spaces like the market and trade center. Each space’s layout and material application are a combination of different time periods, specifically ancient indigenous pit-houses, industrial factories, and modern eclectic homes. Welcome home to The Village.

Roosevelt HOTEL CORKTOWN, DETROIT, MI

Corktown is the oldest surviving neighborhood in the city. It is only an 8 minute bike ride east to the downtown area.

It has close proximity to two large parks and many small businesses including a bike repair shop.

The parking lot adjacent to Roosevelt Hotel building, will be reinvigorated with plantlife and made into a farm for the residents.

The city of Detroit has many co-living establishments to the east, the next step is the addition of sustainable practices.
