Foundation Communities is one of the most forward-thinking affordable housing development companies in the country. With a strong commitment to green building and sustainable development practices, projects such as Capital Studios showcase some of the most progressive design initiatives not only in affordable housing but in multi-family housing in general. Featuring 135 efficiency units interwoven with amenity areas with social and educational program, the residences focus inwardly around a multi-height courtyard and outwardly engage the urban fabric of the nearby Capital city complex and surrounding downtown buildings. Given its management model of providing affordable, all-bills-paid units to its thoughtfully-screened tenant base, buildings such as Capital Studios benefit from highly-efficient VRF HVAC systems, energy recovery and related sustainable building and operating practices. Above all, the high design quality evident throughout Capital Studios engenders its tenants with a sense of pride and stewardship which carry immeasurable intangible benefits. Forge Craft is honored to be considered amongst Foundation Communities’ preferred architects and is proud to serve as lead for one of Foundation Communities’ next projects, Bluebonnet Studios.
