Connections & Corridors community

Building community on the edge of a park upon a foundation of inclusion, this site is home to seniors and families of all structures with emphasis on access and connection to combat housing alienation.

Though this project, the needs and desires of resident groups are carefully considered in the private, shared and public spaces. Unit structures are felxible and exceed building code minimums regarding access, communal dining and kitchen areas faciitate cohousing, and a daycare and clinic within the building make essential services readily availible. Connections between residents are promoted throughout the site; neighbourly interactions in the large, bright corridors, larger groups in the communal spaces, while the broader Cambridge community is drawn into the courtyard and up to the park. Residents are connected to one another, the community, and the neighbouring park as the natural environment is drawn down the sloped site and into their everyday lives.
