LIBERTY CITY WORKFORCE HOUSING PROTOTYPES
Practice: Ennead Lab
Type: Residential / Hospitality
Location: Miami, FL
Status: Ongoing, 2018
A developer native of Liberty City, David Wilson has strong ties to the local community and is passionate about building affordable housing that allows residents to remain rooted in their neighborhoods in the face of rising market rates. Wilson has been acquiring empty or condemned lots throughout the neighborhood and building infill, single-family homes that the workforce can afford with the help of city and county subsidies.
We were tasked with designing three single-family house prototypes for Liberty City's unique conditions that would appeal to the general public and could improve the overall neighborhood. Prototypes are 1500-1600 sq. ft., 3-bedroom homes for the typical 50’ x 120’ lot.
Prototype I: The Split
Prototype II: The Florida Room
Prototype III: The Courtyard
