Tiny Houses for Single Mothers

Our School Team was asked to develop a series of of small homes for single mothers in Berkeley. We went to the site measured out the location and come back and brainstormed idea on how to accommodate for homes consisting of multiple people. Separate home were provided depending on the size of the family. A small problem arose when neighbors to the site didn't approve of the use of the land but all was figured out as there was a compromise. Along with the homes them selves we also incorporated public storage, kitchen, laundry, and dinning areas. In the end Berkeley was impressed with out design that they decided to commission another project and that was for us to design homes for homeless students.
