[[File:Highgate Exterior 1.jpg|thumb|right|Street view of Haven House]]<!--[[File:Gray.png|thumb|right|Video: Haven Homes Project Overview]]-->The Haven Homes [[About the Project|project]] aims to convince large-scale real estate developers to build [[BASH|Broad Appeal Specialty Housing]] ([[BASH|BASH)]] to reduce problems caused by growing homeownership costs.

To prove the [[BASH]] concept, we are building homes that model how specialty features can be cost-effectively incorporated into new commercial multi-family as well as existing residential housing, creating homes that are lifechanging to certain people, yet still appeal to a general audience.

For our first housing projects, we focused on two specialties: trauma-informed housing and pet-friendly housing.

To that end, we followed principles of [[Trauma-Informed Design|trauma-informed design]] to make homes that can help their inhabitants feel better and heal. Furthermore, we developed several new animal-centric [[Architecture for Animals|architectural concepts]] that benefit not just the people and pets who will live in these homes, but also the property owners, making these features financially viable for rental properties and affordable housing projects.

===Homes That Heal===

==== [[Haven House]] ====
A safe, relaxing group home for women undergoing <!--partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care-->long-term care for trauma. Designed for health, harmony, and happiness with emphasis on natural materials, art immersion, and animal companionship. <!--([[Haven House|More Info]])-->

==== [[Cloud Nine Studios]] ====
Small apartments with nearly all the features of a full home, sized for a single individual. Designed especially for women recovering from trauma who wish to live on their own or with 1-3 cats. <!--([[Cloud Nine Studios|More Info]])-->
<!--
The first of these complexes is [[Lion Canyon]]: A quiet enclave of boutique homes conceived around the ideas that homes can help heal their inhabitants and that pets are essential members of the household, and as such designed to take care of the needs of cats as well as the humans who live with them.
