PHA Winning Entry

JIbe Design teamed up with Naquib Hossain to design the winning entry for the Philadelphia Housing Authority Sustainable Housing Competition.

The project calls for the masterplan of 25 delapidated houses and 7 empty lots along Markoe Street in West Philadelphia. Our design proposes renovating the existing structures and carefully knitting new homes into the empty lots to complete the gapped street edge.

We allow for street level commercial at the block corners. We propose to build the new homes to last of durable materials with careful construction detailing. The highly insulated new homes and renovations will integrate a clerestory into an efficient daylighting, heating, and cooling system.
