My Sisters House

My Sisters House, located in Greensboro, was designed collectively by Professor Robert Charest and UNCG’s Urban Studio students. This housing unit was built with the intention of housing four unwed teenage mothers, their children and one Youth Focus house Mother. The unit itself is comprised of two wings; which are connected by a centrally located space. As one enters the home they are greeted by a large living room adjacent to a community kitchen. To the left, a naturally lit corridor leads to the individual suites belonging to the young mothers. A longer hallway runs perpendicular to the first and houses passageways to the laundry room, a small office, and the living quarters for the Youth Focus Mother.
