Eco Oaks Apartments

Contemporary

These affordable housing apartments are composed of 3 separate buildings, located in an area economically distressed from the economic crash of 2008/2009. They were designed for formerly homeless women veterans and their families, making security a prime concern. Interior courtyard spaces between the buildings were designed to provide a space for children to play safely with the ability for the neighboring apartments to watch over them. 

The project is a net zero energy producer, with solar panels installed on the roofs and rain collection tanks used for irrigation throughout the property. The project was the first LEED Platinum-certified multi-family new construction in Florida and was also recognized with Outstanding Contribution to the Community awards from both the Hillsborough County Planning Authority and the U.S. Green Building Council of West Florida.
