An affordable new build
Intent
This house was indeed a step forward in addressing housing affordability for singles. At the time, it was bought for a price that was affordable for a single female purchaser. To reach this affordability goal, we worked backward from the client’s budget. How do we get a block of land small enough and a design small enough to fit the budget?
