This project is constructed of cardboardtubes. This is sustainable, using 100%recycled cardboard, manufactured inChicago. The cardboard tubes alsoprovide a unique aesthetic andcharacter to the architecture, in thecircles on the front and back facades ofeach unit. This is an important aspect,since failed past housing projects haveoften been bland, standardized, andlifeless.The housing units have a fairly openplan inside. Small spaces, including thebed, closet, and bathroom, are on oneside of the home. This leaves a large,�exible space on the other side of theunit. The �exible space includes areasto cook, eat, relax, and work.The courtyard is the focal point of thetiny home complex. This provides acommunity-building space for theresidents, while also addressing sitesecurity issues. This sense ofcommunity is furthered by the attachedcommunity building at the corner of thesite, di�erentiated from the homes by aheight di�erence. At the opposite cornerof the site, a storage building, the samesize as a housing unit, has access tothe sidewalk and to the courtyard. Thisincludes space for bikes, as do bikeracks at another corner of the site.Alternating roofs provide a sense ofownership for the residents bydi�erentiating the homes from eachother. The steep roofs are in context tothe site, responding to snowfall. Also inresponse to the site is the rectangularorganization of the architecture. Thisresponds to the shapes of thesurrounding buildings.
