THE NEW MIXED USE PLAN IN ACTION INTRODUCES MORE HOUSING WITH SPACES FOR GREEN JOBS AND SERVICES AND FOCUSES ON INTEGRATION BETWEEN THE TWO.
WASHINGTON
The ground floor includes: - An indoor compost facility collects food waste and sawdust from local businesses, converts it into compost and markets it through the adjacent garden supply store and nursery. - A space suitable for small-to medium size contractors and job training center will offer visibility to the practice of building and retrofitting buildings. Most of the immediate neighborhood was built prior to 2000 and has significant needs for upgrading energy systems and building envelopes.
AVE
This project is intended to be a model and resource for sustainable living, showcasing low embodied carbon materials, a neighborhood green space and businesses that advance climate solutions. The commercial ground floor spaces house uses that respond to needs in the immediate neighborhood and provide a variety of well-paying green jobs for neighborhood residents, with additional housing above.

The 39,000-square-foot site is located between Bergen St. and Dean St. The design features a through-block public park offering much needed green space to residents and the neighborhood at large and features storm water management systems for the site. At its southern end it is flanked by glass walls of the commercial spaces providing visibility to the work and workers inside. The uniqueness of the site being placed across different fronts of commercial, residential, and manufacturing spaces, guided the design decisions for the organization of programming. The design uses low-embodied carbon materials and emphasizes passive heating and cooling strategies to ensure healthy homes and workplaces with a low carbon footprint.
