Multi-Phase Residential Development

A large-scale project planned and executed in sequential stages over a period of time. This approach allows for scalability, phased investment, and the continuous integration of design feedback or evolving site requirements.

Affordable Units

Housing units whose rental or purchase cost is structured to be affordable to households earning a certain percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI), often achieved through public subsidy or regulatory agreements.

Community Center

A non-residential building within a housing complex designed to serve as a central hub for residents, typically containing amenities like meeting rooms, computer labs, offices, or fitness facilities to foster social cohesion.

Accessibility

In architecture, this refers to designing buildings and sites (including units, common areas, and walkways) to be fully usable by individuals with disabilities, adhering to guidelines such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act.

Energy Efficiency

The practice of reducing the amount of energy required to provide building services (heating, cooling, lighting) through strategies like improved insulation, high-performance windows, and efficient mechanical systems, leading to lower utility bills and reduced environmental impact.
