Habitat for Humaity Project





For this project, Habitat for Humanity (HFH) presented us with a lot in Union Town that will be a future HFH Home site. We were given a budget and general building requirement guidelines, and then told to have it! This future home will be a 1100 sqft, 3 bedroom, 1 bath, single car garage structure. My partner and I decided to keep this home pretty neutral in it's color scheme, so that when HFH has a family lined up, their personal tastes can be accommodated nicely. We left the ceiling open over the great room with a dark truss system to create the sense of more space within the common area for the family and guests. The bathroom was designed to meet ADA requirements for handicaped visitors. The garage opening was placed to the side of the house to minimize concrete needs for the driveway as well as to keep the front view of the house visually appealing.
