015 Casa Migrante

Reacting to the recent significant influx of migrant population in NYC, the urgency of housing becomes critical. Intended to bring back the historic housing typologie of Single Residence Occupancy (or S.R.O hotels) that effectively houses a large number of urban population back in the 1950s, our project intends to explore the S.R.O typology’s contemporary possibilities that integrates quality and dignified communal living space with urban greenery.
