This design was selected to be built when “East End representatives chose to work with elements of designs by two students -- David Evancho and Amelia Golini.” - Pratt Gateway Feb 09
The studio was approached by East End Builders to design a 1,000 sf house for under $100,000 in Ludlow, Vermont. The challenge was to keep the cost low on the home, while keeping the building architecturally interesting.
Streamlined design using tight zones and cores in the house was critical to keeping costs low. Smart choices on structure and material were also important in reducing the final price. Important to my design was the use of the Miracle Truss system that reduced the material needed for the walls of the home, and the elimination of a traditional foundation in favor of concrete sono tubes for a significant reduction in labor costs. Due to the dimensions of the Miracle Truss system, my design grew beyond the the 1,000 sf dimension (1,728), yet I was still able to keep the cost below $100 psf ($79.27).
