Two vacant 4-story buildings were renovated and joined by a 1-story 3,500 SF addition to provide long term affordable housing and services for low income adults. The new and combined structure accommodates a mix of 32 efficiencies and 46 single room occupancies in addition to communal and office spaces. An extensive green roof on the new addition and comprehensive energy saving strategies with respect to the building systems and equipment were implemented throughout the project. This project is one of seven affordable housing projects with over 300 housing units for single adults, families, elderly and transitional housing completed by Nelson Architects.
