Bethany House Shelter & Services Center – In Progress

Project Description

This new 45-family shelter and services center for Bethany House Services will consolidate multiple dispersed shelters to serve and house families with children in one secure, nurturing facility.

Project Features

• The design takes into deep consideration the end-users and implements specialized daylighting strategies and security to create a welcoming environment with emphasis on resident peace of mind.
• Each room includes a fixed window unit with an obscure glass section in the lower part for safety and security and a clear, operable portion at the top to allow views of the sky and fresh air without compromising security.
• A unique feature of the shelter includes animal silhouettes painted by each resident room designed with the intent of creating recognizable wayfinding graphics for younger children.
