a place for children to play…
The Tulane City Center worked with a community partner to design and build a playroom and educational space for children transitioning from homelessness to a stable living situation in New Orleans. The design/build project involved converting the exiting back deck of the house into an enclosed, safe place for children to play and study. The design and construction were completed by an Options Studio which took place in the Fall of 2010 at the Tulane School of Architecture. I was active in all design aspects and construction phases but was especially involved in the creation of the roof, which is designed to drain water to a particular spot in the adjoining garden.
