Charlie Stewart discusses the integration of community feedback and sustainability features in the design of a senior housing project.
- Community feedback led to a design adjustment: street walls are set back 6 feet to accommodate stairwells, enhancing accessibility.
- The project emphasizes high-performance and energy efficiency, incorporating passive house principles.
- Features include 100% electric systems, high-efficiency heating, cooling, and ventilation, triple-pane windows, and rooftop solar.
- These sustainability measures are intended to reduce operating costs, fossil fuel dependency, and emissions while providing a safe and quiet environment for residents.

And if I may just to be clear for a record, we are returning to be hearing that we temporarily pause to take a vote, and you may proceed.

Yeah.

So I was just saying that in in this view, we set back the street walls 6 feet to accommodate the stairwell, which is built right up to the the lot line, which is feedback that we heard from from the community that it's very tight you exit the stair wall.

So we sort of took the community's feedback into consideration in the design.
