The study area falls within the City of Kingston's Secondary Plan urban village designation, it is planned to have a mix of housing typologies and unit sizes and is said to accommodate diverse residents (such as older adults, those with children, and/or multi-generational households). Although the Secondary Plan proposes high-density diverse housing for this area, it does not specifically mention affordable, non-market housing and has no inclusion of social housing. There is a lack of sustainable housing choices and housing affordability, which is a key component in Von Hausen’s (2013) sustainability scorecard. On site, over the years, there has been an abundance of people without homes coming together, pitching tents, and living around the Kingston Integrated Care Hub facility. This area, which the Kingston locals call “Tent City”, houses an unsafe and unsustainable way of life for the people living in these conditions, and their need for proper housing infrastructure can be seen in the pictures taken on-site. Taking into consideration the needs of the community, I've proposed modular social housing units in the lot. Since modular housing construction involves the mass production of units in a factory that is small enough to be shipped to and assembled at the construction site, it allows for affordability and can be altered based on community needs/requirements. For example, Abbotsford, BC’s aim to combat the city’s homelessness involved building a 3-storey, 44-unit modular housing apartment, helping the residents move toward more permanent solutions. These residences had 8 accessible units, a kitchen and common dining area, rooms for support services, and was also designed for energy efficiency (CMHC, 2021). In the case of the study area and the lot in question, these modular housing units would be stackable in a manner that allows for flexibility to fill the building footprint. My concept illustration above shows how a flexible and modular social housing model would work well in this space. By preserving community and character, providing community gathering spaces and designing for sustainable growth, this concept helps fulfil 3 goals for the study area, i.e. (1) Connectivity to Active, Social and Green Spaces, (2) Innovative Collaboration and Shared Responsibility, and (3) Environmental and Social Healing through Design.
