Please support of a great cause – Habitat for Humanity of Seattle/South King County is holding their first annual Build-a-thon between September 19th and October 3rd, and they need our support.
ORA and HyBrid Architects have formed a team that will be working on a Habitat home in Pacific this Saturday September 26, so please consider either making a donation or joining us on site (8:30am-1:00pm), or better yet, both! If you want to participate this Saturday, please sign up on-line to join the ORA/HyBrid team, or email Owen Richards if you want to learn more.
To donate or join the ORA/HyBrid team, please go to: http://www.blueskycollaborative.com/hbat/participantpage.asp?fundid=94&uid=454&fkroledescid=1
If you prefer to write a check please make it payable to Habitat for Humanity and send it to ORA Architects, 1205 E Pike Street #2B Seattle, WA 98122.
Why is this so important? Because only 14% of King County housing is available to households earning below 50% of median income (HDC, 2006).This must change. You can lead the way by sponsoring my volunteer hours with the Habitat for Humanity Build-a-Thon!
If you have any questions or want to talk about participating please give Owen a call at 206 625 0941. If you have any questions about Habitat for Humanity or the Build-a-Thon please visit www.habitatbuildathon.org for more information.
Thanks for your support!

We are currently working with the Seattle-based Non-Profit Jua Lekundu, an organization working towards the creation of a Neighborhood Center in Arusha, Tanzania. Their long term goal is to create a complex of buildings that would be an anchor for the community, including a solar well, school, medical clinic, teaching farm, and residences for volunteers.
Our task is to develop a schematic design in order to assist them in raising funds for the project. The first phase will consist of developing a package including site planning ideas, sustainable concepts, local construction techniques research, and general programming.
If you are interested in joining the design team, please join us for a kick-off meeting on Tuesday, August 18th at Piecora’s Pizza, 6:30pm. Email Carter Woollen at carter@woollenstudio.com for questions and additional information.
