The re-development of this Chicago Housing Authority senior site serves as a model for the Authority’s transformation plan. The combination of programmed spaces and areas for informal gathering creates a green oasis in this heavily urban setting.
Floral gardens, with a variety of low maintenance perennials and grasses add texture and color year round. Meandering walkways that loop through the site establish exercise facilities for walking enthusiasts.
Scattered seating areas enhance the entire site creating a variety of experiences that activate the senses. The careful implementation of the plan and meticulous maintenance has enhanced the position of this property within the surrounding neighborhood.
