Excited to share renderings of Carehaus Baltimore, the US’ first intergenerational care-based co-housing project where older/disabled adults, #caregivers, & their families live in independent units clustered around shared spaces! #carehaus #domesticworkers #disabilities

ALT Carehaus, a light-colored, 5-story building, as seen from Preston Street near Greenmount Ave in Baltimore. As you look towards the back, the top three floors are champhored — or angled — to pronounce balconies with greenery tumbling down. A large tree emerges from the central patio of the Carehaus, which has been in fact built around that very tree. A bicyclist and pedestrians bring life to the street.
