"we designed Betances Residence to provide safe, healthy, permanent housing for at-risk seniors in this majority Hispanic community. The building was designed to respond to the culturally rich context of its neighborhood, a residential community surrounded by active commercial areas, schools, parks, and religious spaces. 152 supportive housing units and 10,600 square feet of community space and amenities were designed to Passive House standards and incorporate biophilic and active design to support resident health and well-being."
