7. Pivot Tiny Homes
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA
In 2019, Pivot, an Oklahoma City nonprofit organization,
completed three tiny homes on its campus to house
young people who aged out of foster care or lacked a
stable place to live. An additional three tiny homes followed
in 2021, and 20 more in 2022. The single-level structures
range from 280 to 320 square feet (26 to 30 sq m),
and each of them includes a bathroom and kitchen area.
A few have separate bedrooms, but most have open floor
plan or efficiency-style spaces.
Residents have access to Pivot's services, which include
counseling, as well as training in life skills-cooking, driving,
communications skills, and budgeting, among others.
To design the buildings, Pivot worked with architecture
students from Oklahoma State University, who submitted
designs to a committee that chose the most practical,
affordable, and creative ones. Local interior designers
helped furnish the spaces. Pivot is currently building 15
additional homes to be completed in 2024.
8. The Roost
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
The Roost offers affordable micro-housing aimed at
strengthening the city's arts community, with 33 live-work
units averaging 220 square feet (20 sq m) each. The fourstory
building's developers and designers, local firm Neiman
Taber Architects, reached out to more than 60 nonprofit
arts organizations-as well as galleries-to identify possible
tenants. Nine income-restricted units renting at belowmarket
rates help artists afford housing in the pricey
neighborhood.
Double-height loft-style units optimize the small footprints,
separating sleeping and living/working zones vertically.
Interiors incorporate built-in storage, custom cabinets,
and artistic finishes such as photograph-printed " forest "
flooring. A rooftop solar array heats domestic water. A
large common area near the main entry promotes resident
interaction, with a shared kitchen, dining table, TV lounge,
co-working and meeting spaces, and a laundry room. Small
kitchens on the second and third floors provide additional
communal areas. An arts nonprofit organization leases the
ground-floor gallery and workshop space for its headquarters.
Completed in 2018, the Roost puts local artists within
walking distance of more than a dozen arts community
resources in the neighborhood.
