The weeHouse - NKCDC has provided the groundwork for a commissioned theoretical project that places rendered weeHouse developments on existing vacant lots within the community.

Infill Housing Challenge - East Kensington was once a hub of textile manufacturing. It now, however, faces a decline in residences and houses that are too small to convert to modern needs. Solving this problem is key to the neighborhood's transition to a healthy, more residential community. Partnering with Philadelphia Neighborhood Development Corporation, the Community Design Coalition, and Francis Cauffman Foley Hoffman Architects, NKCDC developed a model to convert typical row homes into stable, attractive homes for the neighborhood.
