Slope House
Year : 2021
Team Mate: Leonard Palmer
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Slope House takes on child-centered housing and childcare by investigating how play can be integrated into everyday life with a dynamic roof as a place for free play. By sharing a roof, the residents share childcare as a collective responsibility, evoking Jane Jacobs’ “Eyes on the Street.”
The “Eyes on the Roof” renegotiates childcare and play into families’ everyday lives, creating a safe haven in the city for kids to explore freely and discover play within the context of domestic living.
