FUNchitecture was hired by Metro Community Development to develop a comprehensive site plan for the New Smith Village neighborhood that included the assembly of 83 “new” lots in the neighborhood via strategic collaboration with the Genesee County Land Bank, design of periphery buildings that will add value to the neighborhood such as a new art center and child development center, coordination with the City’s engineer for infrastructure layouts and improvements, and development of 10 home designs to populate the 83 newly created home sites.
