[conceptual] Pro Bono - Community Design Collaborative

Jastech Community Center is a conceptual design developed for Jastech Development Services on behalf of the Community Design Collaborative (CDC). The CDC is a non-profit organization that provides pro bono design services to Philadelphia area non-profits. The building’s program includes a healthcare center, a demonstration kitchen, and a communal market/gathering space.

Occupying the footprint of a former warehouse the design pays homage to the site’s industrial past while also creating an open and welcoming environment for the community. During the process I participated in meetings with the client and community stakeholders and worked with a project team of architects, engineers, and cost estimators.
