As the pre-build continues, we have the corners of the buildings staked out and we should be breaking ground next week. Take a moment when you are near 1050 N Harvey Mitchell Parkway to see what's happening! Dr. Baggs

Our team Mākhers Studio excited to work with amazing organizations dedicated to providing affordable housing for veterans. Our modular project in Durham, NC was briefly featured on Fox News. For this project we're building several shipping container, energy-efficient ADUs for veterans and a courtyard space for restorative wellness. This project is in partnership with the Durham Land Trust and their veteran partners. Access to affordable housing for veterans is critical for an equitable society.

Touring the Joe Louis Greenway in Detroit at the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) conference last week. This project is a master class in creating an authentic, reciprocal relationship with community that's based in mutual respect. When community needs are centered on a project like this, there's a tangible sense of care when walking the trail. Kudos to Christina Peltier and everyone at the City of Detroit and SmithGroup who made this a reality, including colleagues from Toole Design Group :). And thank you for organizing a wonderful tour, Christina! It was an honor to meet Miss Williams, Miss Pickens, and Mr Rio and witness their testimony about how much this greenway means to them. Can't wait to visit Detroit again.
