The task of this assignment was to ideate and develop a collective housing community nestled within a designated street block in New Orleans. The goal of the Wellness Collective was to integrate its smaller community with its greater surrounding context. By examining the traditional New Orleans shotgun home, I discovered the significance of the porch, the street level, and the sidewalk as a buffer between the two. My project explored how the porch and its relationship to the sidewalk and the street could be used on a larger scale to promote public engagement, while also allowing for privacy.
