WOB

A home base for an organization that provides a supportive space for arts and well-being for first generation, immigrant girls, and young women. The design takes from surrounding neighborhood context in Hamtramck with materiality and building height. This is seen with the building height being similar to the houses nearby and increasing in height towards the more commercial program adjacent to the site. In addition, the treated wood siding complements the vinyl siding seen on the houses both in character and dimensions yet is oriented in a playful way.
