Architecture Photography - Roosevelt Crossing Transitional Housing

I'm happy to say that one of my next shoots will be for ESSEX construction's newly completed project, the Sponsors, Inc. Roosevelt Crossing facility. The Roosevelt Crossing is a live-in facility for former inmates. The trio of buildings has the capacity to house over 70 men and women in three buildings on an acre of land. The property is wedged between Highway 99 and Roosevelt Blvd. in West Eugene on a very busy intersection. It should prove to be a challenging shoot as the buildings are fairly close together with a good amount of infrastructure (in the form of powerlines, traffic signals, signage, etc) to get in the way.

That being said, I'm looking forward to shooting a Bergsund DeLaney project... I've always been fond of their work. Even their more monumental projects are usually tastefully integrated into the neighborhood using simple and attractive materials with an honest, straightforward approach.
