The Homes for Heroes project was envisioned to give
veterans, who have multiple special needs, homes
like everyone else.
An inspired design will permit a level of privacy
and connection to the community not easily
accomplished. Each building will have four
independent apartments, while each apartment will
have a private entrance. The porches will all front
on a mews to encourage interaction between residents
and help build a sense of community. The units will
also have a connection to Western Highway, not
directly fronting on this residential road, but not
turning away either. Becoming part of the community
again is sometimes a long and difficult road. This
design will make that transition easier.
Our Homes of our Heroes will be fully accessible.
Veterans who may have physical and/or mental
disabilities need a barrier free dwelling. Support
services will add an important component to secure a
successful housing development. |
