The project aims at creating affordable housing with live-work units. The live-work unit offers a flexible, economically viable option for hard-working entrepreneurs. The units will have street-level, commercial fronts for office/studio/store space with live -work mid-rise buildings at the front and low rise, low density in the back. The perfect solution for a growing group of people who embody the “life is work; work is life” lifestyle. Business owners that live and work in these spaces usually include creative entrepreneurs and small startups with strong cultures. Live-work units are nothing new. The concept was born many centuries ago in towns and villages, in which work, business and housing all took place on the same site but we need to have more of them. we need to normalize that earning one’s livelihood can happen at the same place where one resides.
