Our project centers on the integration of phytophilia, also known as plant lovers. a deep connection with plants, into the design of urban residential spaces, focusing on the plant-loving community in New York City. We propose the development of an innovative affordable housing project that incorporates shared gardening spaces. This project is designed for individuals and families who appreciate planting, particularly plant lovers seeking affordable living solutions. By integrating gardens, we could create an engaging environment that fosters community interaction, while promoting a healthy living lifestyle and enhancing community well-being.
