Islandview Village Detroit, MI The firm has been involved since 1990 in the rebuilding of this community on the near east side of Detroit. It was selected competitively by Church of the Messiah Housing Corporation (one of the premier nonprofit community development corporations in the city of Detroit and recognized nationally) as Architect/Community Planner for an infill housing development plan. This project led to designation of the area as a Neighborhood Preservation Project (NPP) by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and part of the Detroit Federal Empowerment Zone (EZ). Recently, the Field Street Infill Housing Project was selected to be featured as a case study in a new publication entitled Good Neighbors: Affordable Family Housing, produced by the American Institute of Architects and the National Endowment for the Arts, published by the AIA and McGraw Hill in 1997. The project is also included in the Affordable Housing Design Advisor http://www.designadvisor.org/aa
