UAI created an environment conducive to both private living and social activities. A two-story glass-enclosed atrium with a feature stair leads to a cellar lounge and other common spaces, including the kitchen and dining room, a multi-purpose space, and counseling offices. The dining room opens to a sunken exterior court and is connected to a landscaped rear yard at the first floor via an exterior stair. The warm brick exterior and setbacks of the street facade provide relief to the scale of this six-story structure. UAI’s objective was to recognize Odyssey House’s philosophy of empowering its clients by providing a higher quality of architecture in its facilities.
