News: BRANDT: HAFERD wins Zero Threshold Competition for “multi-use, multi-abled” communal living design


Harlem-based architecture and design studio BRANDT: HAFERD won the $10,000 grand prize of the Zero Threshold Design Competition. As part of an initiative organized by nonprofit group North Coast Community Homes, the competition challenged entrants to create a proposal for Cleveland's Old Brooklyn neighborhood that would serve as an outstanding example of accessible design. The winning design had to be feasible to be applied to cities across the world.

Out of nearly 100 architects and designers from across the globe who participated in the competition, BRANDT: HAFERD — led by Jerome W Haferd & K Brandt Knapp — ultimately won the jury's favor with their proposal, “SIDE by SIDE : a multi-use, multi-abled commons”. With the Cleveland Foundation providing $149,000, North Coast Community Homes is raising money to build at least one of the winning designs in Old Brooklyn.

Below, BRANDT: HAFERD shared more details about their winning proposal.
