Humane Architecture
LGA Architectural Partners has created a haven that offers at-risk teenagers a real chance at getting off the street.
With its wide-open hallways and natural light pouring in through skylights, Eva’s Phoenix on Toronto’s Brant Street seems more like a friendly neighbourhood than a shelter for young and homeless adults seeking refuge. My story on the shelter, designed by LGA Architectural Partners, explains why it is such a remarkable example of how humane architecture can transform unused space into a community, and in turn, transform lives.
