Our studio visited the opening of My Sister's House on Monday. It was great seeing so many people coming together and celebrating this project that IARC had a huge hand in creating. The space will be home to 5 teenage mothers and their children, providing a sanctuary for them. After touring the space, a lot of us commented that it would be awesome to live there ourselves! The design is modern and appealing for young people. Each suite feels individualized and is its own private space, yet there is a sense of community in the rest of the facility. An example that was pointed out in the ceremony is that there are no microwaves in each of the individual rooms, that way the girls can eat together in the kitchen and dining room. This project makes me very proud of IARC and I hope we will get to participate in an Urban Studio project in the future.
