New Hope Housing: Dale Carnegie - LEED Gold

New Hope Housing’s Dale Carnegie location is the organization’s ninth and most recently completed multi-family community that provides affordable and supportive housing to individuals living independently on extremely limited incomes. The LEED-certified property is comprised of 170 fully furnished micro apartment units for residents, ranging in size from 280 to 360 square feet, that maximize efficiency and functionality in their layout. In addition to providing affordable and stable housing to Houstonians in need, New Hope Housing Dale Carnegie is conveniently located to nearby commercial retail locations, public transit, medical care facilities, public libraries, and higher education institutions. The scope of the project was intricately designed for the property’s unique, trapezoid-shaped, two-acre tract of land in the in the Mahatma Gandhi District of Sharpstown in southwest Houston. A barrel staircase for the property was the foundation for the architectural concept, while the building’s public spaces and residential units are methodically positioned around a triangular outdoor courtyard that provides generous green areas, ample seating and an inviting space to encourage communal gathering.
