RH Dragons' Den is Back!

Dragons Den

The Problem:

Despite the increasing amount of families moving into high density neighborhoods, affordable housing is still not readily available. 

Houses for Humans, a new organization, would like to address this issue by creating a mixed use neighbourhood that includes affordable housing on a plot of donated land (Celestica community - Don Mills and Eglinton) so that families in the surrounding areas can be accommodated.

The Challenge:

  • Design a mixed use neighbourhood:

    • all amenities the neighbourhood will need 

    • Eg. medical, education, retail, transit, recreation, housing etc.

  • Design and build a scale model of a structure/building

    • contribute to the new community

    • based on your designs/blueprints. 

  • Present your model and plans via a Pitch Deck

  • Design and create a wireframe and app to help your community (or it could be for a designated structure within the community)
