aRIANA MEDINA.

For our design proposal, we created
a welcoming space for the homeless
that utilizes the 5,000 sf. in an
organized, cohesive, and organic way.
Using our research on the homeless
epidemic, sustainability, and the
psychological benefits of green spaces,
our team has developed “Oasis”.

Our facility provides necessities, and
privacy as a luxury, while
incorporating natural elements that
will enhance the environment that has
been inspired as an extension of The
High Line. Using recycled rainwater
collected from the green roof which
replenishes our interior and
exterior green spaces, as well as
natural lighting and materials, our
team has bridged dignity and basic
needs in a sustainable way.
