Architecture Interior Design Planning
This two-story purpose-built shelter serves individuals experiencing homelessness in a welcoming and trauma-informed environment. The facility accommodates up to 250 guests and includes intake areas, flexible daytime programming spaces, healthcare support areas, a commercial kitchen, dining facilities, administrative offices, and dormitory-style sleeping accommodations. The design prioritizes occupant well-being through biophilic design elements including natural light, calming material selections, and acoustic planning that foster comfort, safety, and a sense of belonging.
Sustainability features include mass timber construction utilizing glulam and cross-laminated timber systems, geothermal heating and cooling, rooftop solar panels, a green roof, native landscaping, rainwater harvesting, and other high-performance building systems. These strategies reduce environmental impact, enhance energy efficiency, and support the project’s LEED Gold certification.
