This affordable housing project was designed for Tri-Valley Reach and Hello Housing to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independently.

The design for this successfully entitled five story, 36-unit mixed use apartment building on University Avenue in Berkeley, includes exterior circulation and a large roof deck with views of the SF Bay that supports social interaction during sunny days.

The design of these buildings integrated seamlessly with the existing hotel structures while incorporating the latest sustainable building techniques including insulated concrete forms (ICF’s) which create strong, thick and well insulated walls.

This complex building houses a church social hall and a private school, with a gymnasium shared by both church and school. Our challenge was to integrate the needs of the two distinct user groups while maintaining their separate identities.

For the ETC River Program's base camp on the American River, we designed four buildings: an outdoor kitchen, a main meeting hall, a caretaker's cabin, and a bathhouse.
