CRAN Helps Habitat

This past Fall, members of AIA CRAN Charleston gathered at the Charleston Civic Design Center with sketch paper and computers in hand to create new concepts for Trident Habitat for Humanity. Teams consisting of architects, interns, and HFH project managers spent the morning brainstorming new efficient, beautiful and affordable home designs and the afternoon finalizing construction drawings for 6 different homes in the lowcountry. 

In early December, East Cooper Habitat for Humanity unfortunately had many items stolen from their jobsite trailer. As a response, CRAN Charleston donated $1,000 to help buy new tools that were stolen in order to keep Habitat for Humanity operational.
