It's well worth reading through the development's manifesto (here:urbanergonomics.com/projects/#/cat) to get a fuller sense of the mission of the project. Namely, creating more authentic places that are designed for longevity with craftsmanship, community, and livability in mind.

Thanks for the kind words Simcha, but send that praise on over to those who built this! Their work should celebrated, and hopefully inspire future projects like it!
There’s an incredible demand for projects just like this. My hope in sharing them is to encourage others to go out and build stuff like it, and prove to lenders, investors, and builders less inclined to do work like this that there’s a huge market for it!

One of my regrets is NOT going to work for Andrew Gould, who is the architect of this great place and so many others.
He's got a real talent for making small places work so well and to use fun materials and colors but still be serious.

His work is terrific. I’m glad there are people like him out there designing places like these because it’s really needed. All of the architects on this project are remarkable, but of course one can only work in one place at a time!
