The Nest
“Weaving Connections: A Community of Care and Collaboration at Smith Hill”
“Culture was actually humanity’s attempt to extend the womb”
- Christopher Dawson
The project embraces this concept by fostering a space where healing the individual can heal the community. Inspired by the intricate nests of weaver birds, which build supportive, communal habitats within tree branches, this project aims to create a nurturing environment for single parents, children, and elderly family members in the Smith Hill neighborhood.
