This tiny home is the product of a year-long design and construction youth program called Studio H in Berkeley, CA. Studio H is an academic class at REALM Charter High School led by a team of expert architects and builders, in which students explore a social issue through the design and construction of a full-scale project each year. This year, our students investigated public housing as an economic, social, aesthetic, and architectural challenge and built two tiny homes on 7'x16' trailers. These micro homes required research, prototyping, modeling, material and budget constraints, and precise project management to complete within the academic year with 75+ high school students in 4 class periods each day. The proceeds from the sale of this home will go directly to the Studio H program to fund next year's build project.

The home itself is one of two identical (mirror image) houses. One house was donated to Opportunity Village in Eugene, Oregon, a self-managed community and social service program providing transitional housing to the homeless. They will use one of the tiny homes to house a resident on their grounds. The second home is here, up for auction!

The Studio H team considered climate, site position, adjacent aesthetic contexts, circulation and use by the client, maximization of space, and many other factors to design a home that would be comfortable and customizable. The tiny home would make a great writer's hut, towable shelter for camping, or permanent fixture in the back yard. It has been well-crafted and well-engineered using standard stud-framing construction, roofing, windows, doors, and interior build-out.
