该项目位于美国Albuquerque市的旧城区附近，这里之前是第一批来到美国的西班牙人的殖民地。在1980年的时候，该地区将近三分之一的西班牙人过着十分贫穷的生活，之后由于城市衰败和当地一家锯木厂的倒闭，人们的生活更是穷迫不堪，导致了该地区犯罪率上升，空气和环境质量直线下降。人们开始反抗，希望停运工厂，然后对工厂的土地进行重新划分，修建新的住宅区，发展当地的经济。

Design Workshop团队与居民，商人和城市政府共同努力，一起完成了社区的修建计划，主要让当地人在两个方面受益：第一是当地的财政运营模式与周边高档社区形成了鲜明的对比，它的运营模式更加经济高效；第二是可持续设计计划的发展能够让住宅和维护花费降到最低。现在，该住宅已经成为了该地区知名的经济住宅，受到人们的欢迎。

Located near the Old Town of Albuquerque, Arbolera de Vida was one of the first Spanish settlements in the city. In the 1980’s, this Hispanic neighborhood had nearly one-third of its residents living below the poverty level and the area suffered from urban blight, crime and poor air quality because of a local sawmill nearby.A grassroots advocacy effort ultimately led to the closing of the mill and the city buying the site and rezoning it for mixed uses and affordable housing.

Working with residents, local merchants and the city, Design Workshop and its consultants created a neighborhood plan which resulted in two important benefits: 1) A financial model that guards against neighborhood gentrification 2) Application of sustainable design guidelines that keep housing and operating cost low. Today, the neighborhood has re-emerged as a desirable and affordable place to live.
