Help one
Containing over 500 supportive and affordable housing units over 500,000 Square Feet, Help One is on track to become one of the largest PassivHaus buildings in the nation. The project uses a block and plank structure, along with ERVs, VRFs, and a tight high R value thermal boundary to exceed the most stringent energy standards in the country.
Throughout the entire block project, the four buildings also include much needed social services offices, A domestic violence counseling center, community facility spaces (including a mixed media dance and performing arts center),thousands of Square Feet of commercial space, and an expansive inner courtyard filled with residential amenities. These will all work together to help support at risk members of the community at large.
My involvement with the project began towards the end of Schematic Design, where I was brought on to help see the project through design and construction. My work on the job continues as I manage the ongoing Construction Administration process, coordinating with the GC, the trades, the client, and our various consultants, as we work to get the project to final completion.
