At the core of the "Hope House" project is the commitment to finding a comprehensive solution that seamlessly integrates the homeless community back into society, providing them with a second chance at life.

The design takes into consideration the distressing reality of anti-homeless architecture and aims to counter its divisive nature.

Our vision centres around social justice, advocating for a fair society where everyone has access to necessities and opportunities. By providing essential amenities and employment training, the project seeks to rectify the injustices faced by the homeless community, offering them the tools necessary to rebuild their lives and successfully reintegrate.

In an effort to confront the divisive nature of anti-homeless architecture head-on, the center is strategically positioned in the heart of the city, becoming a focal point for community engagement and integration. Designing the center with a revolving brick façade acknowledges the inherent worth and value of each person, offering them a sense of agency over their lives.

Our ultimate aspiration is to break down barriers and foster a more compassionate and inclusive society. We aim to cultivate an environment where empathy drives collective efforts to uplift the homeless community, ultimately leaving a positive and lasting impact on lives and the broader community.
