Cathedral Village
1 AIA LU|HSW

Cathedral Village, a St. Johns residential community, was developed to bring together art, music, and the greater St. Johns neighborhood. Cathedral Village leveraged an integrated design process to achieve Earth Advantage Platinum Certification. This 4-story, 110-unit affordable housing community provides homes for low and very low-income individuals and families, with eight (8) units designated as Permanent Support Housing (PSH). Cathedral Village has onsite supportive services, a community room, laundry area, teen lounge, playground, children’s gnome garden, barbeque, picnic areas, and a dedicated music studio. The project and development teams worked with a local non-profit, VIBE of Portland, to include a music studio to host family programming that provides children access to musical instruments to explore and record music.  

Attendees will hear and learn from the project design team members, Bill Lanning, Principal, and Sarah Lundy, Architect. Essential items that will be addressed include meaningful integration of trauma-informed design (TID) principles, how the design and development team focused on three sustainable pillars to center the health and well-being of all occupants, and lessons learned from designing for equitable communities during a global pandemic.
