Homebase

Homebase

Lake Union Park 860 Terry Avenue N, Seattle

As we collectively EMERGE from the pandemic, we hope to introduce a new vision of Seattle that establishes a shared optimism for the future and sense of care for the most vulnerable – including people experiencing homelessness, one of the groups most widely impacted by COVID-19. Olson Kundig, Dowbuilt and ARUP have partnered with non-profit Camp United We Stand to develop Homebase, a portable housing installation. We envision Homebase as a pathway for this community to EMERGE from the pandemic; as a vehicle to engage with the local community; and as a prototype for an affordable, flexible temporary living space.

What do you need to THRIVE?

Lake Union Park 860 Terry Avenue N, Seattle

"What do you need to THRIVE?" is the question we asked when we took art supplies into the community to listen- and bear witness- to people's stories of "home" and "homelessness." We did not set out to become housing developers- but that is what has EMERGED. ecoTHRIVE Housing is committed to creating beautiful, affordable, resident-owned villages that build community and human resilience- and joy!- as we adapt to an ever-changing world and shifting climate. Let’s talk about how we can bring all of our passion, compassion, and brilliance together to create the future we want to live into. Join us!

Passage

Lake Union Park 860 Terry Avenue N, Seattle

Passage represents the process of emerging, an invitation to transformation carried through a sequence of space. The Passage is experienced as a channel that questions how the built environment, often encountered as a static object, can be reimagined as an alive and active form. It is an invitation to consider how design can speak to the life infused within the structures we inhabit and how designers can transform their practices to employ the full spectrum of living materials in the spaces and places we create.
