LITTLE GARDENS community at a reduced scale.
The region where this project is set lacked housing options for low income individuals and couples who wanted to purchase their own property near local families and jobs. This project provides private property for them at a smaller, and more affordable scale than the typical farm housing in the surrounding area.
​
​
The project occupies a narrow parcel that once belonged to an old logging road. This was the area’s smallest and least desirable site, a leftover, inadequate for developing any traditional buildings. The allowable building area on the site was essentially the footprint of old road itself, approximately 10’-0” wide.
​
This project consists of three ‘lots’ each with a small residential unit, a greenhouse, a chicken coop, and a dedicated yard. The buildings follow each other in a row with north facing entries and south light in the rear garden areas.
