The Dolores Housing Program has many issues that can be easily fixed with a few adjustments. One of the main issues at DHP is the organization of the storage units. Because there are limited storage rooms and units, some things such as laundry and dishes are stored in open space. To fix this problem, I came up with an idea of using the library as another storage space and utilizing the dining area as a library and dining space.
By using the legs of the dining tables as book shelves, the table becomes a storage unit for multiple purposes. A person can sit, eat, wait, socialize, and read at that table by taking up less room.

During the pin-up, I lacked formal presentation and final ideas and drawings on vellum. Overall, the class needs improvements on having the drawings and diagrams speak for themselves. Providing the different uses and all possible functions is important to deliver, which everyone can be further develop. To deliver the specifics, we should also consider using the human scale to show how the unit can be utilized. All of our storage units can be further investigated in design and functions for improvements.
