SIKU BASIN ARMY FAMILY HOUSING

FT. WAINWRIGHT, ALASKA

ORB Architects is currently working with the US Army to provide design-build services for the full interior and exterior design and construction of Army family housing in the Siku Basin neighborhood at Fort Wainwright, near Fairbanks, Alaska. The scope of work includes conceptual plans for the entire site, including associated supporting infrastructure. The new housing units (120 total) are a mixture of 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom, 2-story, single-family, duplex, triplex and quad-plex units.

ORB's design met the Army Corps' goal of creating visually interesting and comfortable homes for Army families. The buildings contains unique elements and welcoming characteristics for each individual unit. We incorporated a variety of colors and patterns to give the buildings texture and depth, avoiding a monochromatic, repeating series of row houses.

ORB is involved in all aspects of the project, including providing full architectural design services, conducting site visits, site planning services and construction administration.
