“Courtown”



Concerns over rising rates of loneliness, social isolation, and increasing costs of housing were central to the design considerations. Sited in the historic and disinvested neighborhood of Corktown in Detroit, this project seeks to encourage a thriving community through social connections and environments that heal. A myriad of housing typologies and densities are provided throughout the site to support a wide range of lifestyles. Within each building, spaces are designed to be flexible and adaptable to cater to the changing needs of its residents.
