A live-work community helping revitalize a neighborhood.
Designed and produced with Rani Mei
Honoring the men and women who have sacrificed their lives fighting our wars, by creating a home to help with the process of reintegrating back into modern society. Working with HELP USA, a non profit organization whose mission is to help those who are homeless and others in need become and remain self-reliant. We gathered necessary data and information on this project’s finances, in order to understand the financial impact of this development within its community as well as the rest of Brooklyn.
At the center of our project, a community garden shared by the veterans living in the building and the community along Livonia Avenue. By bringing the outside in, a comforting and supportive atmosphere promotes recovery. Through a system of hydroponic plantings and expansive community programs, the transitional collective for previously homeless veterans will create opportunities for the veterans living there, as well as the entire community of East NY.
