This affordable housing design for a historically Black neighborhood in Raleigh, NC honors the
stakeholders’ desire for housing with dignity that will inspire change, optimism, and respect for
the rich cultural history of the community. The project turns gentrification into a positive force by
first creating market-rate and “missing middle” properties, which will then fund the construction of
175 affordable units. Shared green spaces, sculptural stairways, modular construction, familiar
materials, and efficient three-story walk-ups all support housing that is welcoming, and accessible
for those in the 30-70% AMI range, an easy walk from the heart of downtown.
