Abstract
How can housing help individuals recover from drug addiction? This D.Arch (Doctor of Architecture) project studies factors that affect human health, furthermore supporting the success of the individual’s sobriety. The goal of this project is to help recovering individuals by decreasing their chances of relapse. The objective of this research is to provide design guidelines and strategies to be used in sober living housing (SLH), by combining extracted information from existing research and a case study on Sand Island Treatment Center’s (SITC) staff housing. In order to provide the most successful environment for recovering individuals, this research shows there are three conclusive factors that should be implemented into SLH design. The three factors relate to the physical environment, the social environment, and the immediate (architectural) environment. This project presents design guidelines that should be applied to all three factors. The Physical and Social Environment Design Guidelines should be used for site selection, and the Immediate Environment Design Guidelines (IEDG) should be used for the building design. This indicates that the SLH location is a significant determinant of the success of the recovering individuals. These design guidelines are universal and should be used by planners, architects, developers, and housing owners to provide the best support for the recovering individuals. Finally, this project applies the SLH Design Guidelines and proposes a mixed-use and mixed-income housing development (Hoʻāliʻi) in Kaka‘ako.
