Meet up with the Community Design Collaborative and Interface Studio Architects on Wednesday, July 27 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM for a tour of Sheridan Street Housing— 13 newly-minted, affordable green homes designed by Interface and developed by APM. Walk the site and go inside with us. Get the scoop on the joys and pains of designing and building infill urban housing—and the challenge of developing innovative affordable homes.

We'll be meeting at 6:00 PM at the corner of North 7th Street and Montgomery Avenue, six blocks above Girard. Taking transit? Hop on Bus 47 heading north on 7th Street. Drinks afterwards at El Camino! Sign up.

The original design concept for Sheridan Street Housing came out of the Collaborative’s Affordable Infill Housing Design Challenge in 2005 when APM, best-known for developing dozens of affordable housing units in the neighborhood just east of Temple University, collaborated with Interface Studio Architect to come up with a green option to homebuyers.

The project attracted the attention of Postgreen, which partnered with Interface Studio Architects to develop the 100K Houses. As contemporary, light-filled homes plugged into small sites in rowhouse neighborhoods, the affordable Sheridan Street Housing and the market-rate but modestly priced 100K Houses share many of the same qualities.
