| dc.description.abstract | The cost of living has started to increase quite
drastically over the recent years. From renting
an apartment, to buying or building a home. Land
and material prices have skyrocketed, especially
during and after the pandemic. There are many
people these days that have a job, but still have a
hard time paying rent or a mortgage on a home.
With the cost of living increasing, the amount of
habitable space is decreasing. Intelligently reusing
and reducing material usage as well as building
footprint will be what brings living cost back down
and ensure for less urban sprawl with more living
spaces in currently developed areas.
This study focuses on creating smaller
alternatives to today’s maximalist trend for
living. Research will be focused on how to build
efficiently in regard to space and utility usage.
Thinking of creative ways on where and how to
build in certain urban areas will be an important
aspect for site research. To accomplish this,
multiple designs will be made for different family
sizes in order to optimize living space wile shrinking
the classic home footprint. | en_US |
