This project is a campus integrated intergenerational living community located adjacent to one of the University of Michigan’s campus research complexes, serving senior residents from surrounding neighborhoods, university students, and research groups.

Responding to growing social isolation across age groups, the project uses food as a shared social infrastructure: a daily, accessible medium for connection, care, and cultural exchange.

Organized on a 25’×25’ grid, interior and exterior spaces prioritize human scale proportions, legibility, and accessibility.
