Hands of Justice ERC


The Hands of Justice are a non-profit organization that envisioned their future headquarters and expansion to provide accommodation for human-trafficking survivors. Moment Architects provided a transformative initiative, envisioning an Economic Empowerment Center designed to serve as a safe haven and educational hub. Comprising of two distinct buildings, the first building houses the administration and counseling center, while the second is dedicated to the living quarters of the survivors. The central concept aims at fostering a holistic recovery process, providing shelter, therapy, counseling, and a restorative environment for survivors to regain control over their lives and thrive in the future. At the heart of the design is an open courtyard, surrounded by various social areas, fostering a sense of freedom and control for the survivors. This intentional layout encourages gradual engagement with on-site staff, promoting a supportive environment that empowers survivors on their journey to reintegrate into society, free from the clutches of trafficking. The project stands as a beacon of hope, seeking to break the cycle and empower survivors toward a brighter future.

Timber Top Remodel

This contemporary home addition and renovation project in The Woodlands, Texas, is a stunning transformation that seamlessly blends modern design elements with natural materials. The exterior features a combination of wood veneers, black yakisugi wood siding, and white mortar wash, creating a harmonious contrast between the warmth of wood and the sleekness of black siding. This mix of materials not only enhances the aesthetics but also promotes durability and sustainability.

 

Inside, a daring and stylish approach was taken in spaces like the bathroom, where a bold pink color scheme has been employed. The use of pink, complemented by gold and patina accents, adds a sense of luxury and personality to the bathroom. This color palette creates a vibrant and eclectic ambiance that breaks away from traditional design norms, making the space both visually striking and inviting.

 

Overall, this contemporary home addition and renovation successfully blends a mix of materials for a stunning exterior, maximizes natural light through large windows and skylights, and introduces creative and unique design elements, to create a truly remarkable and modern living space.

Metro Village

Metro Village is a multi-family community located in the city of Bellaire on the outskirts of Houston. The community is a condo regime featuring a combination of two-story and three-story single family homes situated on a looped drive. The goal from the outset was to create a high-density entry-level community with that welcomes and nurtures its inhabitants. At the center of the community is a park space with landscaping and walkway features designed by LANDology, a landscape architecture firm located in The Woodlands, Texas, providing residents with easy access to outdoor recreational opportunities not commonly found in low-cost communities. In addition to being centered around a green space, we also designed the site layout with lots that are wider than they are deep, thus providing an opportunity to inject character into the facades. The homes themselves meld mid-century modern forms with a prairie modern use of materials, all while staying within the developers target budget, and the natural rise and fall of the units positioned side by side creates a harmonious rhythm that coincides with the natural elements found within the park at its core. Construction on the site work began in early June, and vertical construction is expected to begin in early 2023. Metro Village is the latest innovative collaboration with Luminous Development Group, a company focused on making a lasting, positive impact on the built environment.
