Boston is the 23rd largest city in the US, however it’s the 10th largest metropolis. It is what is known as a
“commuting city” – its population grows largely during the day as residents of the suburbs flood the
downtown for work and decreases at night when these people go back home.
There is a relatively even number of black and white people under age 18 in the city, however the
number of white people increases greatly after age 18. This is because of the plethora of ivy league
universities in and around the city which typically admit Caucasian applicants.
“The single largest ethnic group in Boston is Irish, which accounts for 15.8% of the population,
followed by Italians with 8.3% of the population.” (Boston, Massachusetts Population 2018.) However,
non-Hispanic white are now the minority of the area because, post-2010, the city has become home to
many immigrating families. This flux of immigrants came after a period of gentrification in Boston.
The shift was primarily a result of late-aughts housing crisis.

THE PRIMO CENTER
FOR
WOMEN
&
CHILDREN
FIGURE 1
The Primo Center for Women and Children is located in the West Garfield Park neighborhood of
Chicago, IL. There are three separate locations for Interim Housing throughout this neighborhood
and a fourth further south in the Wrightwood neighborhood. These areas Chicago are both very
The primary goal of the organization is to provide housing and rehabilitation services for
homeless women with children in the Chicago area. They provide healthcare, including mental
health services focused on trauma. Early childhood services and violence prevention programs are FIGURE 2.
available at all locations as well. Unfortunately, these homes are located in distressed, violent
neighborhoods of Chicago so the local public schools have a lot of at-risk youth. Many of the
children and women living in these homes have a trauma-filled background. “In response, all of the
Primo Center’s services are trauma-informed, creating a unique therapeutic community that
provides a sage setting dedicated to helping families heal.” [“Mission”]. The PWCW provides 184
are typical turn-of-the-century multi-family structures. One of the locations, 1609 W Homan
[pictured below] is a 6-unit building. The building is divided horizontally; 3 units in the front and 3
units in the rear. The basement is likely used as shared storage and common laundry. Many
basements in the Chicago area which are below street level have issues from flooding [I know from
personally owning and managing 15+ of similar type buildings], so I would be very surprised if the
organization chose to finish the basement due to that risk. It would also be more economical to
have shared laundry machines and additional storage; there is not a ton of storage in units like this.
The living space is maximized rather than using space for storage.
FIGURE 3.
I contacted several people at the organization and have not heard back from anyone.
However, I really wanted to highlight this service as I believe it normalizes the experience for the
women and children more than other shelters in the area by providing them with an actual
apartment…not just a shared unit in the basement of a church. I think, with children especially,
housing women and children in that type of environment is risky and potentially exposes them to
abuse by the male homeless, many of whom are dealing with substance abuse and mental illness.

- CONCEPT STATEMENT -
CONCEPT STATEMENT
The design will give birth to a place of refuge for the inhabitants. The color
scheme will utilize blues to nurture an underlying sense of serenity. The reds and
greens will institute energy and balance, respectively. The ornate front door and
entry will welcome the visitors and residents into a modern-Federal Style
interpretation. Floor will be wide plank wood; walls will have chair rails and
moldings; furniture and fixtures will be historically minded and also sustainable.
The gathering hub will be the energetic focal point of the building, creating a
nurturing and supportive environment for the residents to socialize.

encourage a sense of possibility, particularly the entry and gathering
positivity and balance. It would be space. The individual apartment living

- FINALIZED PRESENTATION BOARDS -
- JUSTIFICATION OF THE SOLUTION -
My design of the space meets all of the needs of the client. The design provides 4 apartments as described, a
director’s office and a gathering space. The gathering space encompasses a kitchenette and dining area
which provides room for bonding and socialization. The dining area can be used as a homework space when
not in use as dining. Storage space has been amply provided; the built in bookcase will be filled with self-
help books, board games and inspirational materials. The apartments are small but still meet the basic
comfort levels of future occupants. The FF&E selections are true to the Federal Style of the structure. The
color theme of calming blues and invigorating green and floral accents is intended to provide a serene
environment for the occupants. The apartment furniture is intentionally less expensive, as the wear & tear of
young children will require periodic replacement. Materials and finishes are not precious; they are easy to
clean and will withstand heavy use. Reflecting upon the final design, I decided to add laundry machines in the
kitchenette area and to install bathtubs in the apartment bathrooms [which were previously shower only]. I
also edited my final drawings: I changed the sectionwitness mark to an elevation callout; I added interior wall
dimensioning to my A1 floor plan; and I amended the A4 drawing label.
The final design incorporates accessible and universal design considerations in every detail; even the built in
bookcase features ADA-friendly hardware. The floor plan is arranged so that the apartment entry doors are
completely separate from the gathering space, allowing the inhabitants privacy – both visually and
acoustically – from the public gathering spaces. Per egress requirements, all bedrooms have windows. In
addition, all of the apartment living spaces have windows and therefore natural light. The security feature of a
double entry door will provide peace of mind for the women and children who may have concerns regarding
domestic abusers [a common issue among this homeless population]; it also provides the “sense of entry”
which the client requested.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this design and its fulfillment of the client’s needs.

BUDGET ANALYSIS
After finalizing the cost estimation for my designer fees and the gathering space and apartments
FF&E, I have a remaining budget of $174,829.83. As noted, there are still rooms which require
furnishing such as the kitchenette and the director’s office; this allowance will be applied to those
two rooms. Additionally, costs for all the plumbing fixtures need to be considered. I believe this
remaining balance will adequately cover all remaining costs.
My design fees totaled ~$11K, which was slightly above my guesstimate of $10K. I chose to
charge $175/hr. design fees; this is consistent with an Chicago-area low estimate of design costs.
Since I would be an entry level designer, I erred towards a lower hourly design fee.
- REFLECTION -
The three concepts I found most helpful were:
1) Process drawings
Though this was not my first introduction to process drawings, there are such an integral step in the space planning process. I consider it
progress that my “best” drawings are not the first ones anymore. Additionally, I’ve found that it is extremely helpful to draw a few ideas, then
take a break and come back to it. If I plant the idea in my head of the parameters of the project, then go for a run or go to yoga; I have really
had some great ideas utilizing the “break” as part of the creative process. There is plenty of research that supports this; ideas I’ve pursued
outside of the classroom – mainly via TED talks and podcasts.
2) Cost estimation
I am extremely appreciative of this introduction to budgeting! This is actually the first class I’ve had that has explored such a necessary
component of design work. It is so helpful to work through the FF&E stages with an actual budget in mind; even if we aren’t getting
completely accurate designer pricing at this point. The estimates that Professor Kirkpatrick provided are such a useful starting point. I’m
almost embarrassed to admit that I had no idea what a “$xxx.xx/sqft” budget meant before this course.
3) Timesheet
Along the same lines of the cost estimation table: this is the second class I’ve had which required us to keep a timesheet. It is such a strong
tool that I wish it was required in every class. Not only does it enlighten me about how long I’m actually spending on the work, but it helps
me focus on the work at hand & minimizes distractions [i.e. phone], so that I can get an accurate idea of how long it takes me to complete a
drawing or a spec sheet. Until I started keeping timesheets, I didn’t even realize how much time I spend on formatting Powerpoint slides!
I really enjoyed working with my team early in the class. It was a nice opportunity to form a connection which can be quite difficult with this online
platform. I also appreciated the glimpse into group work which will be required in a real world setting. As it worked out, we were all also
scheduled in the same time slot for presenting our floorplans in Week 3. This was another “first” for my coursework; I appreciated the chance to
practice my verbal presentation skills. It is also forced me to make sure that my plans would work in the real world. We spend too much time on
these projects to not produce an actual solution that we would be proud to include in our portfolios. I’m aware that I can be critical of my
classmates’ work, but its just because I want us all to push each other to present creative and practical solutions.
