The Problem
Affordable, energy efficient housing is one of the most pressing issues facing major metropolitan areas today, and as Atlanta leads the nation in income inequality, there are few challenges more important. Our goal is to expand 21st housing options to meet the needs of changing urban demographics, sustainability targets and alternative energy requirements, all through smartly researched and elegantly designed housing and public space solutions.
