HOME IS WHERE THE GARDEN IS proposes a form of communal living centered around year-round greenhouse-gardening to rejuvenate the health and being of the community and site. The structural and organizational grid for the project is rotated 45 degrees SE to maximize the morning sunlight to passively heat the greenhouse core of the project. Unit living and dining rooms are offset into the greenhouses’ lower levels to allow for residents to communally dine and gather. The uppermost two stories of the project are functioning greenhouses which both respond to Melrose’s and Mott Haven’s food desert state, but also provide conditions for passive systems that heat, cool and filter the air for residents.
