Architecture, interiors, and urban design practice Body Lawson Associates<\/a> (BLA) has completed work on Home Street Residences, an innovative, new affordable housing complex in the Bronx, New York City, for formerly homeless seniors and a range of low-income residents.<\/p>\n

Home Street Residences seeks to provide a congenial and memorable presence at a prominent intersection not far from two Bronx River parks.<\/p>\n

Led by Victor Body-Lawson, AIA, the project team created 63 apartments averaging 51 m2<\/sup> (550 sf) each, with 30 percent for formerly\u00a0homeless seniors and the balance for low-income individuals and families. Constructed with panelized steel stud framing and extra insulation\u2014and clad in part with gray brick to recall schist from a church formerly on the site\u2014the economical architectural approach allowed for well-appointed living units and common areas with custom furnishings of site-salvaged wood.<\/p>\n

According to the nonprofit affordable housing policy and advocacy organization, New York Housing Conference, the 6968-m2<\/sup> (75,000-sf) building \u201ctransforms an underutilized site into a vibrant affordable housing project for seniors living in the\u00a0Foxhurst\u00a0Neighborhood of the Bronx,\u201d with a \u201ccommunity facility space providing services for residents and community members.\u201d<\/p>\n

The developer of the project is Home Street Partners, LLC, working with manager-operator\u00a0Bronx Pro Group. Community space programming is by the award-winning nonprofit DreamYard, which collaborates with schools, families, and youth in the Bronx.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
