Built on a narrow old road, this unique set of homes provides quality living at a reduced scale.

The region had a lack of housing available to 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 manageable size 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.

The 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. 

A derelict roadway clearing becomes a micro garden community.
