A house with a minimal footprint smallworks

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2007 / May 06

Small, in housing, can be beautiful, functional and affordable. That message is not only being preached by Jake Fry and Aaron Rosensweet of Vancouver-based design and construction firm Smallworks -- they are also putting it into practice. An example of their innovative small-housing design is now on display at the dv-Interior Design and Urban Living Expo this weekend at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre. The expo is the West Coast's premier design event and attracts great interest from many sectors of the architecture, design and construction industries, and Smallworks' simple structure hints at where affordable housing in Canada's most expensive residential real-estate market might be headed.
