Commissioned by DCHA and DHCD, David Baker Architects created a framework for tuning the design of multifamily developments to suit the needs of families—including large families, intergenerational families, households with adult children, and more. The intent is to support the creation of highly functional and responsive buildings that provide a sense of home, serve as a foundation for growth and aging, and support a life rich with formative family memories.
The Guidelines lay out an actionable approach to family needs across five aspects of resident and staff experience:
- Access to Necessities
- Residential Units
- Community Amenities
- Healthy Environments
- Overflow Living
DCHA and DHCD anticipate using the Guidelines in dialogue with residents, staff, and developers to shape housing for families in the District.
