Brighter Futures Residence
Description
The project tackles homelessness in Philadelphia, where 900–1200 individuals sleep on the streets and thousands more live in shelters or abandoned spaces. Despite economic growth, homelessness remains severe. Architecture can promote healing when it reflects a community’s culture and aspirations. This project provides transitional housing, offering not only shelter but also vital support services. An initial drone survey captured the stark contrast between North Philadelphia’s decay and the city’s beautiful skyline, inspiring the idea that everyone deserves access to such vistas—symbols of hope and triumph. The building’s angled twist frames skyline views, while a public rooftop path offers space for movement and reflection. Integrated public spaces foster learning, socialization, and holistic well-being. Collaboration with local organizations ensures access to vocational training and mental health services. Symbolically, the building’s upward slope reflects residents’ journeys of resilience, serving as a beacon of hope, healing, and empowerment for Philadelphia’s homeless community.
