LEDDY MAYTUM STACY ARCHITECTS – SWEETWATER SPECTRUM COMMUNITY

Sweetwater Spectrum is a new national
model for supportive housing for adults with
autism, offering life with purpose and dignity.
Created to address a growing national
housing crisis for adults with autism, this
community for 16 residences integrates
autism spectrum-specific design, universal
design and sustainable design strategies.
Jury Comments
“One of the design strategies seems to
be to make it as simple as possible so the
autistic resident doesn’t get conflicted with
too much color, pattern, etc. The design
team really researched this and based the
design on those principles, and that is to be
commended.”
