Urban Grapevine: Visions of Regenerative Multifamily Housing in Washington DC
The Living Building Challenge, created by the International Living Future Institute, is the most ambitious, comprehensive, and holistic standard for sustainable construction available today. Full certification under this standard requires projects to harvest all the energy and water they require from the site, recycle all wastes as nutrients, promote social and economic equity, and serve as a source for inspiration and beauty. In 2015, Washington DC’s Living Building Challenge Collaborative sponsored a competition in partnership with the DC Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) and the DC Housing and Community Development (DHCD) authority. The goal was to envision a small community of 10–15 affordable single-family homes in DC’s Deanwood neighborhood, capable of meeting all 20 Imperatives of the Living Building Challenge. Over 25 design teams competed in that competition, and many exciting concepts were represented in their submissions.
The winning entry in this competition was the Urban Grapevine design presented here. It is based on the proposition that in order to create a sustainable, just, and equitable community, it is necessary to create not simply affordable housing but affordable living. Urban Grapevine integrates many sustainable strategies including passive and active solar power, rainwater harvesting and filtration for potable water supply, recycling, composting toilets, and urban agriculture within a site design that promotes strong community ties and resident empowerment.
