Birmingham Affordable Housing

Unit Size: 750-1200 SF

At sparkSTUDIO, we develop solutions for the housing affordability crisis. We are based in California where the housing supply is low, and the prices are astronomically high. With this housing prototype design, we are hoping to provide affordable housing options for teachers, designers, engineers and other professionals who cannot afford home ownership otherwise.

If you are interested in this prototype project, let's talk about it. We are putting a development team together to realize this and more visions!

What makes this prototype more affordable?

1. Simple overall geometry

2. Back-to-back common walls

3. No interior corridors

4. Least expensive construction type

5. Plumbing along the central spine

6. Durable and less expensive industrial finishes

What adds to the trendy appeal?

1. Contemporary façade inspired by a traditional gable home

2. Graphic design elements

3. Enhanced landscape

4. Industrial look

How to adjust to the specific site?

1. Revisit the unit size to work in the market

2. Place buildings based on site parameters
