As a new housing prototype, the Sierra explores the rapid conversion of existing hotel stock into transitional housing in a rural setting. The entire Sierra campus comprises 38 self-contained units, a commercial kitchen (the residents receive 3 hot meals a day), a play area for children, a stage, a chicken coop, a basketball court and exercise area and several spaces throughout the property specifically designed for small and large social gatherings to help fortify a sense of belonging and community.
