Affordable Housing
Graduate Studio Work
University Park, Detroit
Fall 2016 (Team of Three)

     By responding to the needs of the residents of Detroit, we proposed cost-effective delivery and construction that can provide “the missing middle” in our new housing stock that is affordable without government subsidies. With the variety of housing typologies, a walkable environment, and access to transit and food, this proposal will create a tighter, interconnected community.
Uni-Park is located south of University of Detroit Mercy, as the City smooths the path for small business owners, developers, and entrepreneurs seeking to bring vitality back to Detroit’s neighborhoods. Enhancing the relationship with the university, our site aims to activate the area through the movement of recent graduates and young professionals filtering into the neighborhood.
