The 1200 square foot prototype is composed of three separately built modules: a combination living/ dinning/ kitchen space, a two- bedroom module with a shared bath, and a master bedroom suite. After fabrication in the warehouse, these modules will be delivered to the site and fitted together.

The three modules will be arranged on a typical 30'-0'' by 100'-0'' lot with careful consideration of solar orientation, privacy, and the scale and character of the surrounding neighborhood. The living/ kitchen/ dining module slips past the double bedroom module to share the bathroom. The master bedroom module is positioned to the rear of the others to offer privacy and to enable its conversion into a separate rentable space through the addition of a kitchen.
