No matter if you’re renting or have your own place, it is important to make it feel like home. To do that, sometimes all you need is to bring in some new plants and hang up your favorite pictures or art on the walls. Other times, you need to get a little bit more elaborate to inject your personality into your space. That is where one starts taking up various DIY projects.

Recognizing the power of community, a series of interlocked micro-houses creates shared amenities and flexible, changeable site layouts.
Las Americas is a prototype for the development of vertical dwellings in the city of Leon, Mexico. The housing project aims to offset the city’s unchecked sprawl, serving as a catalyst for urban regeneration and improved quality of life in low-income communities. Traditional notions of homeownership currently lock developments into becoming acres of identical free-standing homes in remote areas far from the economic center. Extensive municipal utilities expansion and expensive transportation programs have led to a decline in the region’s economy, and a loss of critical density within Leon. We worked with Imuvi Development and the City of Leon to rethink housing models in the city and develop a structure that would be both cost-effective and encourage tenants to experience vertical dwellings as appealing as their freestanding single-family counterparts. Our project creates 60 condo units as a vertical housing block at the city’s center. The design maximizes the plot’s buildable footprint and generates two interior courtyards that provide cross ventilation to each unit, with parking and a commercial base. Resonant of the traditional home’s sense of privacy, no two units face one another. Units are arranged in a single-loaded corridor to face the courtyard and provide views out to the neighborhood, promoting the sense of private homeownership. A facade assembled of uniquely developed concrete blocks enhance privacy and shading, generate a unique interior atmosphere, and lend character to the building exterior. The project is designed with shared utility cores and prefabricated components to accommodate an extremely limited budget. __

“Space that reflects culture” is the end goal for the Puyallup Tribe. Not only will they be able to obtain cultural responsbility, but they will also achieve environmental responsibility saving significantly in their operating costs by using Premier Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) to frame (walls & roof) the tribe’s new ten-unit multi-family housing complex. Traditionally, Coast Salish tribes lived in longhouses with a shared central space and dwelling units off to the side. Architect Environmental Works used this living tradition as an inspiration and created a structure with ten town-homes that are separated from each other by a courtyard with an open, slanted shed roof. Units on one side have one bedroom and units on the other side have two bedrooms. Entryways are in the courtyard, which also provides common space. Project Details Architect: Environmental Works | Seattle, WA Contractor: Marpac Construction | Seattle, WA Premier SIPS Used: 8400 Sq. Ft. of 8” wall panels, 6800 Sq. Ft. of 12” roof panels
