the apprenticeshop
co-housing design for the apprenticeshop in rockland, maine.
interdisciplinary collaboration with duc nguyen (architecture) & sabreena leach (landscape architecture) in fall 2022.
the Apprenticeshop is a traditional wooden boatbuilding school on the coast of Maine. time at the Apprenticeshop is a unique, phase-of-life experience that yields enormous personal growth for its participants. though a tight-knit community, the Apprentices lack a shared living space, often struggling to find short-term housing during their stay. the creation of co-housing addresses this vital need and aims to reflect the uniqueness of the Apprentices’s experience in Rockland, connecting them as users to the roots of their individual and collective experience as Apprentices.
the communal kitchen & dining space can host up to 14 individuals eating together; the living space features seating and storage integrated into custom casework and creates space to gather in community.
