Three fountains, linked by a limestone rill.

Permanent supportive housing for seniors who reached homelessness late in life. Three fountains linked by a limestone rill, cleaned on site with biochar and lime, the overflow taken by a limestone-edged bioswale.

Native habitat planted at the height of a chair. Built pro bono with HFCC: about 200 hours of Noon time, given.

The six channels

The court is laid out by the six channels Noon reads a place by: air, light, sound, warmth, living things, and the life in the soil. Here that is water heard from the two benches, the rill running past beds planted at the height of a chair, the mural wall at its back.

The reading is Noon’s own, published as the Sensorial Choice Score (Dégagé, 2026): one property read at the resolution of the dwelling, for how the place acts on the people who live in it, in sleep, cognition and stress. Read the paper →
