Tiny Home Village

Chicago, IL


The design aims to foster a sense of community among its disenfranchised youth population. As such, great care was taken to develop a system that allowed both for an affordable and efficient construction process as well as an inviting design solution at both the unit and community level. The homes are constructed from Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which provide for a highly efficient enclosure system that can be assembled in a fraction of the time of traditional stick framing. Adding to this, the homes' designs incorporate only “off-the-shelf” elements and standard modular dimensions in plan and elevation.

Diagrams

The homes are designed based on the standard dimensions of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). Each home is built entirely from one of three standard units: a wall unit, a window unit, and a door unit. Using the standard 4’ grid, three distinct plan types are derived: two two-story plans and one fully accessible single-story plan. These variations in footprint and scale allow for a more dynamic site configuration to stimulate social interactions. A 4’x8’ standard, accessible W/C is pulled out as a connection point. This assures an efficient plumbing layout and allows for variety when attaching the homes, required to meet townhome standard. The system allows for myriad unit configurations. This assures a vibrant layout, promoting chance encounters while allowing each home an outdoor view on all four sides. The result of these interventions is an efficient building system, sufficiently adaptable to allow for a permeable site in which each resident of the community has direct access to an internal courtyard.
