Building Designs
While our ideal project has a specific building design, this plan has been designed to be flexible and can be adapted to standard units, town houses, clustered housing or adjacent housing. While participants would not want to live in each others pockets, close proximity for programs is fairly essential.
Environmental social and economic SUSTAINABILITY – is what has guided this design. These drawings are a good starting point, but they are certainly not the be all and end all.

Private and Family Spaces
First Floor Plan - Single & Family space - By Architect Kevin Stapleton
Singles
For a single person a bed/studio would provide privacy and comfort. The space would feature sound privacy, private entrances, balcony/outdoor space, kitchenettes, dining spaces and built ins.
Families
Families would make use of a double unit space.
Common Spaces
The common facilities will compliment and expand the effectiveness of the private spaces. For example, a well set up, well situated and well insulated teenage rumpus room would play an important role in making an individual family space not only practical but fairly idyllic.All private spaces are designed to be comfortable and be complimented by indoor access to common spaces.
Ground Floor - Central Community - By Architect Kevin Stapleton
Community library and relaxation areas can play much the same role for the adults. These common spaces will have quiet indoor access from private spaces. A lot of thought is needed to make these spaces feel great and work well. They will provide for the range of circumstances from quiet chats to community celebrations.
