nyc - genesis houses 3

            Help USA's Genesis Homes (Cooper Robertson & Partners, 1992). An early affordable-housing project from the nonprofit developer HELP, with half of the 150 units additionally reserved for the previously-unhoused. Architecturally, Cooper Robertson revive the prewar perimeter-block strategy, with a four-story wrapper of housing encircling a generous landscaped courtyard. Circulation to the units is via an exterior gallery facing the courtyard, which might be chilly in the winter but does give everybody a balcony-like condition, and builds in some connection with activities on the ground. The exterior wrapper is fairly straightforward, but has a few decorative accents, particularly around the courtyard entries, and at the octagonal community-center pavilion (not pictured) at the northeast corner. Pretty nice work.
