Bayview Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides housing and supportive services to a diverse population of approximately three hundred low-income residents in Madison’s Triangle Monona Bay Neighborhood.

The foundation engaged TKWA to craft a new master plan that will dramatically reshape the existing property, which includes re-making all housing, play space, parking and a community center. TKWA sought to utilize a design process that would be both sensitive to the deeply personal nature of such a transformation, while also giving the ability to think expansively about how a new Bayview could enhance resident’s lives.

Early planning efforts centered around resident engagement. Team members developed a deep understanding of how residents use and experience their own space. This work parralled efforts by City of Madison planners who were actively creating a larger neighborhood redevelopment plan.
