This project explored how a grain elevator(s) could be redesigned to house 1000 people in North Dakota towns within the Bakken field. Focus was given to the design process by elevating the importance of views to the exterior and the visibility of the original cribbed wall construction. Communal quarters on the first floor accommodate sixteen people, likely construction crews or oil working teams. The upper floors are made up of two-bedroom and studio apartments. These would be available to house not only oilpatch workers, but young families, couples, and individuals. Thirty-five grain elevators would be needed to house 1000 people.
