Coastal Resilience

During studio IV-A, my studio was tasked with creating a site plan that fits into the existing landscape of Biloxi, as well thinking of the future and environmental facto. With the help of Biloxi community members, my partner and I were able to create pocket neighborhoods that join together by blocks and cross through roads. There are three typologies present: the larger mixed-use building with commercial space and studio apartments, a duplex with commercial space and apartments, and finally single residential houses. Our master plan includes, trails connecting to other pocket neighborhoods as well as the schools, outdoor classrooms, and parks. Within the site plan, there are green spaces, sidewalks/bike paths, a playground, and parallel parking.
