Planted & Protected

Second Year Studio

This collective housing project in New Orleans reimagines the traditional urban block to support farmers and their families while formulating a stronger connection between residential and commercial spaces. Located within the square of Annunciation Street, Arabella Street, Joseph Street, and Tchoupitoulas Street, this project integrates three types of housing units, farmland, a farmer’s market, a farm-to-table restaurant, and other communal amenities. By blending housing, agriculture, and commerce, this model promotes sustainable living, local food production, and community engagement in order to regenerate both social and natural environments.
