Project 1:

Design a neighborhood suitable the placement of 6-18 tiny homes.

​

A tiny home is defined as a house that is 400 square feet or less.  The homes will house one or two persons. The homes will be reserved for military veterans who have been homeless as a permanent residence. The home should provide the basic needs of shelter and comfort, while, to the greatest extent possible, promoting one's sense of place among the community of which it is a part.

Unit prototypes have been provided for you to review to select one or two types.  Each unit are required to have the list of spaces as follows:

• Sleeping Space

• Living Space

• Cooking Space

• Bathroom space including sink, shower, and toilet at a minimum that will permit a wheelchair user to access and use the water closet (toilet) and lavatory (sink).  Please reference ICC A117.1 regarding design requirements and consider the minimum space requirements to allow for each home to be converted into a fully ADA compliant home if needed

• Spaces to accommodate storage needs

• ​

The selection of the unit(s) should reflect the site you choose to design the neighborhood.  Examine the style of house adjacent to your selected site, and determine what will complement the existing neighborhood context.
