The Tiny Home Competition put together by the Members of the AIA North Carolina Activate14 committee and the Raleigh/Wake Partnership to End and Prevent Homelessness aimed to collect ideas on a new typology for urban housing:  a twelve unit community of tiny homes to help address the problem of homelessness in urban centers. The site is comprised of 4 vacant lots owned by the City of Raleigh, just outside Historic Boylan Heights in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.

Activate14 announced the winners for the competition and Eray / Carbajo (Design Team: Gonzalo Carbajo, Inanc Eray, Pinar Guvenc and Marco Mattia Cristofori) received the “Aesthetic Merit Award”, the jury stating our work to be “the most architectural and formally organized project in the competition”
