Duval Design proposed a solution to convert a walk up tenement building in New York City into a supportive Single-Room-Occupancy homeless shelter in response to a competition by First Step Housing. The proposal leveraged the corporate resources, design expertise and philanthropic capacity of Steelcase, a multibillion dollar furniture manufacturer, to underwrite and deliver the spatial solution called for in the brief.
