This compact and flexible house prototype is designed for families with children but can accommodate a variety of family types and living arrangements. It works as a single-family residence, or can be mirrored to become a duplex. Combinations of these can be organized to form “cottage style” housing.  As shown here, low-income units can be interspersed with market-rate housing.

The building footprint is kept to a minimum for environmental and economical reasons. A dense organization of houses, combined with common outdoor spaces, promotes interaction between residents and the surrounding community.

This project was a collaboration between BLIP and Urban Wedge
