The Stoop
Multi-Story Social Housing
The Stoop is a proposal for the 1911 Telegraph site in Oakland CA. The goal was to design a multi residential building that could benefit our users both mentally and physically towards a better life. The residents group consist of middle class local Oakland families and young adult solo athletes were their lives intertwine on a micro scale through indoor outdoor living that then seeks to spread out to the wider Oakland community. The users are brought together within a super block that fuses urban and suburban life together with shared vertical (cul de sac) circulation were both user groups lean on each other for support and interact frequently within an environment that promotes health and active lifestyle.
