OBJECTIVE
Utilize the abandoned quarry and adjoining parking lot in North Oakland. Design an SRO (Single Room Occupancy) housing complex to suit the needs of six real people who were interviewed. Design a related structure to fit in a 10' x 20' parking space that could provide employment for all six SRO residents.
DESIGN
DESIGN
Recognizing the strengths of my interviewees that related to children, a daycare was appropriate for parking space. The SRO design was guided by the concept of a clean, simple "blank slate" for each of the residents to have space for their creative endeavors.
CONCEPT
CONCEPT
The forms of the buildings play with the contrast of solids and voids to create comfortable spaces with a strong connection to the outdoors, in which each individual, young and old, can reach their potential - and even play.
