2. PROJECT STATEMENT
Design a single-occupant house for the back of a
small suburban residential plot. The house should be
sensitive to its environment: this means
incorporating sustainable materials and design
specifications such as passive solar heating; it also
means designing a building that extends beyond the
property line to engage the street and sidewalk.
