Sixty° Home

description

The 60 Degree Home is a project that examines the essential aspects of living in small dwellings.

The aim was to design a 160-square-foot housing unit that can be arranged into a larger system. While the chosen site was the Great Northern Way Campus in Vancouver, a developing community of four academic institutions, the small home will address the needs of students and newcomers to Vancouver. Another important part of the project was to demonstrate the benefits of using Cross Laminated Timber, an emerging material that is suitable for building prefabricated homes in BC. A collaboration with Lorea Sinclaire, Rachel Simpson, Mina Ghaani.
