The Architecture of Stability
Transforming 216 E Overland through Trauma-Informed Design.
Clear Sightlines
By eliminating blind corners in the lobby and residential hallways, we reduce tenant hyper-vigilance. This architectural choice increases safety and reduces the need for intrusive security presence.
Choice & Control
Our floor plans prioritize tenant autonomy. Giving residents control over their immediate environment—from lighting to seating—drastically reduces property damage and behavioral incidents.
Acoustic Engineering
We utilize sound-dampening materials to mitigate the "echo-chamber" effect of historic buildings. This keeps ambient noise at a level that supports focus for students and peace for residents.
Biophilic Integration
Natural light and greenery aren't just for looks. They are proven to lower cortisol levels, making the building a preferred destination for both high-end café customers and long-term residents.
