StarterHome
SPECULATIVE INFILL SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE
America is filled with so-called unbuildable lots: patches of land too small or narrow to build conventional houses upon. Jonathan Tate’s Starter Home* is a strategy of turning these unbuildable lots into petite, beautiful micro homes. The proof-of-concept is squeezed between a duplex and an industrial warehouse in New Orleans’ Irish Channel neighborhood. Although only 975 square feet in area, the one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath home contains tall ceilings, ample windows, a beautiful deck, and more. It’s designed with middle-income individuals or couples in mind–what Tate calls “the 50%”–who have found it traditionally difficult to find homes in their price range in in-demand neighborhoods. Although only one Starter Home* exists now, more homes are currently underway in New Orleans, Austin, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Oakland.
