This design was in collaboration with the Newark Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Newark Habitat’s specific local mission is to provide good, affordable housing in partnership with low-income families and work across economic and racial barriers. This design balances rigorous design quality, cost efficiency and the highest possible level of sustainability. During the design process, I worked closely with Habitat staff, client families, material suppliers and various other professionals. The design accomplishes Habitat’s goal of each dwelling meeting NJ Energy Star ratings and the highest LEED rating attainable, with cost per square foot not to exceed $100 per square foot.
