The Rise/Vital
The Rise will be a truly sustainable, healthy, and resilient development in Brownsville, Brooklyn. The mixed-use development will offer 74 units of supportive and affordable housing for justice-involved families and low-income households and over 13,000 square feet of community facility space.
The Rise employs Active Design principles and adheres to trauma-informed design guidelines in an effort to improve the social, physical, and mental well-being of its residents. Specific design interventions include an abundance of natural light, reduction of harsh stimuli from lighting and wall color, multiple points of access to outdoor space, and a variety of common areas that allow residents to meet in smaller groups and semi-private settings. This last feature has been made all the more important following emerging and well-founded sensitivities to densely populated social settings, personal space, and risks of infection following the coronavirus pandemic.
