Project HomeFULL represents a fusion of residential space, community engagement, and architectural innovation within an urban setting in New Orleans. This project is designed to revitalize underutilized land, transforming it into a cohesive residential community that caters to various family structures and lifestyles. HomeFULL emphasizes sustainability, social connectivity, and resilience against local environmental challenges.

The project incorporates a range of residential units organized around common areas that facilitate interaction and accessibility. Each unit is tailored for function, with layouts that promote natural light flow and openness. These considerations ensure a comfortable living environment that is crucial for fostering community.

Unique Community-Centric Design Approaches

HomeFULL distinguishes itself through its focus on community integration. The architecture includes shared spaces such as green areas, workshops, and recreational zones, which encourage social interaction among residents. This engagement is further enhanced by well-defined pathways that guide movement through common spaces, fostering connections among its inhabitants. The presence of rooftop gardens not only provides aesthetic value but supports urban agriculture initiatives, contributing to a self-sustaining community.

Architectural Resilience and Sustainability

The architecture of HomeFULL responds to New Orleans’ vulnerability to hurricanes. Elevated structures and robust drainage systems exemplify a proactive approach to flood management. Material choices, including reinforced concrete and steel frames, ensure durability while maintaining an inviting atmosphere through extensive use of glass. This thoughtful selection enhances energy efficiency and natural ventilation, aligning with sustainable building practices.
