Phase 3- Intent Narrative

In phase 3 of My Sisters House, in designing an individual suite, I would like to create a safe environment for young mothers and their children to grow and dwell in. I would like for the public spaces to be open and functional for the mothers to learn from one another and build close relationships. In the private spaces, I would like for the mothers to have easy access to all their personal belongings and feel safe in their individual rooms with their small children. I will take full advantage of the height of the rooms to efficiently use as much available space as possible for storage. I also think that in all the spaces, it is important that anything 4 ft or lower be child-safe. This means minimal sharp corners and only things will be stored below 4 ft for children. This will help the children grow in a safe and healthy environment.
