Expansion Concept
Allowing residents the flexibility to expand their housing program to accommodate to their individual needs (as these may grow and change in correlation to their familial growth and development) creates a sense of ownership over their space, providing an incentive to identify with, develop with, and connect to their community.

Community Garden Bridge
Year: Fall, 2020
Site: Suzhou, China
Inspired formally and conceptually by the bonsai tree, this project bridges together two low-income areas in Suzhou, China, currently separated by a part of Suzhou’s unique canal system. In hopes of connecting both physically and socially, a community garden and urban farming program was implemented along the bridge, creating a gathering space with a shared responsibility that benefits the entire local community and creates an incentive to connect.
