04 GENESIS : STUDENT HOUSING COMMUNITY

LOCATION : San Luis Obispo, California

GROSS AREA 35,000 sq. ft

COMPLETED 2nd Year (2020)

A mixed use student community housing located in San Luis Obispo, CA. This housing complex is targeted towards agriculture students and provides a unique experience for students in terms of learning beyond the classroom. The housing complex includes areas for farming practices throughout. However, this practice of farming also carries on in the housing units where the lower level provides a variety of spaces including sample testing labs and meeting rooms.

The private living spaces are located on the upper level connected via walkway that encourages communication with member living in the different housing units while separating the private spaces from the more work related spaces on the lower level. The arrangement of housing units allows for future expansion in terms of the number of units while providing a uniform learning experience having close proximity to Cal Poly’s agricultural lands.
