Housing Nantucket office space

We are very excited to finally have a home of our own. Through generous funding from the Town of Nantucket's Community Preservation Committee and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, we will open a Housing Resource Center at 75 Old South Road within two years. The site is approximately one acre and will have mixed use combining offices with housing and open space.

Design for the Housing Resource Center is in the planning stages, and we are currently looking for a suitable "house recycles" to relocate on our land. We would like to incorporate a creative design solution that results in the best use of the landscape & most efficeient design, while remaining true to the goals of affordable housing. Renewable Energy sources are being explored, and the buildings will strive to meet the highest possible LEED standards.

In 2008, Housing Nantucket put out an Request For Design Service Qualification for this space. We had many fantastic responses, and the winner was Ford 3 Architects (Partnered with Thornewill Design).

 

 

 

This is a good start, but we are still working on coming up with a final plan. We love to hear from the community. What are your thoughts?
