Designed as a “Living Corridor,” The Vincennes

Summit represents a fundamental rethinking of what

aff ordable housing can be. Rather than treating

aff ordability as a constraint, the project celebrates it

as a catalyst for connection. A framework for people

to build relationships, share stories, and create

stability together. The design centers on a community

promenade dubbed the Vincennes Trail, a public spine

of terraces, plazas, and shared open-air corridors

that replace isolation with interaction. Here, daily life

extends beyond the walls of an apartment into gardens,

outdoor living rooms, and gathering spaces that make

community not just possible, but inevitable.
