Project Overview: Thesis is a year long process. 3 Pillars Transitional Housing is affordable housing units for women and children transitioning out of rehab, prison and homelessness. Creative Process: Revit
3 Pillars Transitional Housing
The three pillars are the Zakim Bridge, Bunker Hill Monument and Bunker Hill Community College and focusing on the surroundings, the users of the space will be able to experience new beginnings. By looking back into history and learning from the community, users will be figuratively cross a bridge into a new start of life.
Affordable housing has always been an issue and has grown throughout the years. This housing complex will help introduce a variety of life skills to the residents by giving them more opportunity to grow and expand in life. Having this complex as a multi-use building, it will reduce the stigma felt by the community. The topic of affordable housing will always be a personal experience for me, as my family and I have been homeless and in the same situation many face day to day. Erasing the stigma of people who are homeless, ex-inmates, or addicts will always be a goal for me.

City Square Market : Due to the lack of affordable markets in the area, City Square Market was created. This is one of the public spaces, that are not just for residents. This market is to give an affordable option for the community, it has a hot food and coffee bar in the back so you are able to sit upstairs on the mezzanine.
Cycle Studio : Due to the lack of gyms in the area the One Pillars Gym was created. The gym is essential because a lot of the residents tend to gravitate towards something to do along with the community because there was already a cycle studio and yoga studio in the existing building.
