Crystal ADU
As the state, and the country as a whole, are figuring out means of mitigating the housing crisis, one project type is beginning to help satiate that need. Accessory Dwelling Units like the Crystal ADU not only add a dwelling unit to a previously developed residential site, but this one does so in a mere 160 square feet. One of the primary design goals was providing the minimal amount of space needed for a person to operate.

Specification case study: Poisson Blanc by naturehumaine
Naturehumaine designed a minimalistic and refined chalet located in rugged terrain north of Montréal, Canada. The architects shaped the structure in a compact volume to reduce the footprint on the site. The squared floor plan is topped by a gabled roof structure.
The modest budget led to a reduction of circulation areas, compact spaces, grouping of services and simple and affordable materials. The result is a minimalistic monochrome volume that fits well within its natural landscape.
