Multi-Family Housing Today

Thanks to funding from WHEDA in Wisconsin, there are beautiful, affordable multi family facilities popping up!  I've had the opportunity to design a variety of multi family interiors.

One current trend is the re-purposing of older school buildings.  A recent project was actually funded additionally by the historical society in the Milwaukee area.  We kept the old school lockers - using the original yellow paint color.  The school's display cases show off old memorabilia -  trophies, books, uniforms and musical instruments from the past.  The apartments are beautiful with full height windows and maple restored wood floors.

Another trend is to have a community room (required by WHEDA) with seating, TV, games, table/chairs and kitchen available for entertaining and events.  There is a business center that provides access for all ages to use internet.

Finally another trend that is essential to our future - Applicants are encouraged to use WI Green Built Home Certification for points.  Public transportation gains points as well as adaptive re-use.

What a joy it has been to work on these green, adaptive re-use projects!
