The main program for the building will be a mix of civic/commercial and residential. Inserting this mix of civic/commercial and residential would draw more families into the area that would in turn use the park and make the area more lively. Additionally, revitalizing the street the building would site on. To be more specific, the civic/commercial will be a rec center (civic program) on the lowest level and a private gym (commercial program) on the level above. By incorporating a rec center geared toured families and children, it allows for the current program of the existing building to remain and be built upon as well as expanded. The private gym above the rec center would be for adults and young adults and require a membership. Inserting a gym at this location would allow for a more centrally located gym facility within the city center. The remaining 50,000 sf would be comprised of a mix of different sized residential units. Playing on the fact that the lower level is for families and children, the housing will be comprised of units that can house 3-4 people and 5-6 people. There will also be some units available for 1-2 people.
This project will explore the idea of having a porous building that allows for the flow of movement from the street into the building and then out into the park.
You need an opening sentence. Something to grab me. Something more than a restatement of the requirements. It can be a statement of purpose or desire. A statement with a little passion in it! Also check caps, grammar and spelling.
