GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE
Direct access to raised-bed edible roof gardens and shared outdoor spaces emphasizes the primacy of social equity , as well as the physical and mental health of the residents .
In further support of the holistic well-being of the community , the project includes a primary social services hub , as well as three related satellite modular structures located
along the circulation loop . While the hub houses administration offices , a café , community rooms , and flexible social service / medical rooms , the satellites contain laundry and recreational functions , further encouraging social interaction among the tenants .
The gardens enveloping these structures serve as gathering spaces – a public gesture – encouraging the types of resident and neighborhood interaction often missing in affordable housing .
