We took a scaled approach to the housing crisis, deciding to focus on much smaller homes that could fit in existing backyards in common suburbia. Affordability, buildability, and portability were our main objectives, keeping this ‘House’ as cheap and as easy to build as possible. Ideally ‘House’ would be assembled by one to two people in a few afternoons and over a 6 pack. We achieved this by breaking down a normal wall assembly to a manageable 2 foot by 4 foot panel size. Each panel is a fully self contained wall system, including structure, Insulation, and veneers. The panels weigh no more than 35 pounds, making it easy for anyone to pick up and assemble. The veneers are detachable and customizable according to the client's preferences, with 3 different choices in material; reclaimed wood, hempcrete, and cork.. The car, specifically the truck, is a massive proponent of ‘House’, facilitating the transportation as well as the construction of the structure, acting as the allen key of the modern house. This ADU approach to suburban housing allows for an extra source of income, or a low cost rent option for young adults to begin their lives as a part of American society.
