This project is a sustainable, local grocery store and cooking institute for the Third Ward community that uses a public greenhouse and community gardens with passive techniques that control the light, wind, and water to support the functions of the building. This project was designed to help alleviate the food desert that exists in the area using sustainable practices while celebrating the local African American culture that helps this community thrive through the use of local materials and patterns on the building’s envelope.

THE OASIS AT GREENS BAYOU

SPRING 2023

In an attempt to relocate and rebuild a whole community of low-income apartments that are located in the floodway along Greens Bayou, our studio came together with a goal to design at least 8,000 new multi-family units to replace the ones that need to be demolished. My project focused on not just running away from the issue of flooding, but attempting to transform it into a desirable amenity. By excavating the site and redesigning the existing topography, the apartment homes are protected from dangerous floods, while also bringing greenery, and a beautiful retention pond for residents to enjoy.

This project suggests a unique solution to the lack of affordable housing complexes in Los Angeles. By rejecting the idea of the typical suburban home, we designed a more adaptable solution that allows rooms to freely move accross units and throughtout the apartment complex. These moving rooms allow for a more flexible living situation that makes intergenerational households more comfortable and able to grow as the family grows and changes.
