To foster a sustainable and inclusive revitalization of downtown Sudbury, the creation of a stronger sense of place grounded in community is essential. A symbiosis through the weaving of users, program, and natural elements enrich mutually dependent relationships and encourage the desirability of the downtown community.

Within the mixed-use program, a variety of unit sizes brings together a diverse multi-generational community, while the construction of a productive and generous cycle is encouraged through the integration of public commercial programs grounded in food security, job integration, and community services. In this way, the project works as a series of visible and invisible networks as individual parts combine to form the whole, creating a symbiotic relationship between its inherent parts and the greater community.

All work was divided and managed equally between partners.
