Sometimes, less is more. Pioneer Valley Habitat’s design of a “big enough” house is making homeownership more accessible and affordable for families with this build in Northampton, and it was recognized by Habitat for Humanity International as Design of the Year at the 2021 Habitat House Design Contest. PVHH partnered with local architecture firm, Simple City Studio, to design a single-story, one-bedroom home that maximizes its square footage with an open living and dining area.
“This design focuses on the Habitat value that everyone deserves a decent place to live. By building small, simple, energy efficient homes, that’s one way of achieving that vision.”
