As the final studio before thesis, this project aimed to develop a holistic design for veteran housing at a site under active public scrutiny. The primary challenge was designing at two distinct scales simultaneously. First, the entire nine acre site had to be re-envisioned and secondly, a building proposal had to satisfy a set of programmatic, environmental, and contextual guidelines. A particular dialogue between the two was developed and constantly revisited to ensure cohesion. The final "product" includes an overall master planning of the site in addition to the building proposal that carefully considers the user, site, and construct-ability.
