Gans & Company // Design Team – Gans & Co, Nancy Owens Studio
Queens & Staten Island, NY // June 2017 – July 2018
To expedite Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts in Queens and Staten Island, Build-it-Back turned to modular construction. Gans & Company designed twenty housing prototypes which responded to specific Build-it-Back program guidelines, zoning regulations, and local fire code. These prototypes became 83 houses, with modules constructed in Pennsylvania and delivered and installed in coastal neighborhoods in Staten Island and Queens.
As staff designer I produced iterations of prototype designs for homeowner approval, and reviewed modular shop drawings and DOB submission packages.
