Dunamis Synergy is a housing-based community development initiative in Providence, RI. working on a two-generation housing model for single parents pursuing a post-secondary education. Blooming Plains was my proposal. The adaptive reuse project takes a vacant one-story concrete block structure and adds two additional stories by hanging them from a polycarbonate skin. The energy generative gesture wraps and unifies the old and new. The programs of use - in addition to housing - are double height atriums, a health clinic, fitness center, early childhood learning center, and community dining spaces; and the expansive site contains community gardens and a playground. All serve to cohere and support the multi-generational community.
