The Haven is an urban village, anchored in the rhythms of simplicity and hospitality; where residents, neighbors and guests together pursue holistic living. The Haven provides a respite for gentle living where relationships take priority over the many demands of 21st century urban living.
The development will offers a selection of attractive, quaint, and efficiently designed residences for long and short term accommodations. The common spaces at the ground level will be programmed with a variety of educational and community based events aimed at support the spiritual, mental and physical well-being of residents and visitors. Both the programs and the physical buildings are organized neatly around a central common green courtyard space.
Project Goals:
Shrink the ‘health disparity gap’ in Detroit through highly curated information concerning health, development programming the promotes healthy eating practices, and manicured outdoor/green spaces.
To create a diverse community of human beings from all walks of life and socio-economic backgrounds.
To create a paradigm for sustainable, economically viable, and community center micro-real estate development in the urban neighborhood.
More background information coming soon.
