Description

    -The site would be divided into about 200 lots of varying sizes. -Comprising eight blocks near the heart of Detroit, this project is a proposed urban village that is planned to provide a physical home for the parishioners of a nearby urban church. The parish draws people from well outside of the city and the purpose of this development would allow them to live in community. -The plan is centered around a terraced urban park, where outdoor activities such as concerts, festivals and outdoor skating in the winter would provide life to the neighborhood. -Along with a mix of commercial and small office space, the housing in the neighborhood would range from large single family houses, to small houses, cottage courts and apartment units and live/work units. -The variety of sizes would allow parishioners in every stage of life, from young adults to retirees and “empty nesters” to have a place they could afford to live in community -The square is important for social gathering and provides a focal point for the neighborhood. -Centered on the square, a chapel would be built for the daily devotions of the parish, but also be a community landmark and a gathering space.” says Bootsma. On a portion of one block, an urban farm is planned.
