This micro-house serves as one of five templates for the 200 new units being added to Community First! Village, which provides accommodations to people transitioning out of homelessness in Austin, Texas. The initial prototype was developed for a man seeking a heightened sense of privacy that would contrast his prior experiences on the streets. In turn, an ultra-secluded interior brings in light from a glass copula in its lofted ceiling, yet still maintains a sense of warmth thanks to the Baltic birch used to construct its central storage wall, built-in desk and cozy bed nook. Meanwhile, space for guests and views of the outdoors are both satisfied by an expansive screened-in patio.
