The Hope Lives Women's Shelter is a project dedicated to my late sister - Sarah Harkins. I wanted to create something that had meaning for me and I knew that Sarah had given back her time to volunteer and help out at a Women's Shelter in Fredericksburg, Virginia where she resided. I designed this house so that women in need can find hope in the hard times. Some aspects of the design that were chosen to promote a younger, happier lifestyle was the whimsical color scheme, fun, quirky furniture and lighting selections, and light colored hardwood floors. The home has sustainable aspects built throughout the design and accommodates people with disabilities. The location is set in a safe, residential neighborhood so that residents can feel at home in this shelter.
