Smart House

Project Description | Sustainable Smart Home

While applying sustainability and smart technology into our design, my partner and I decided to use our freedom to explore the social challenge of homeless pregnant youth and create a sustainable and efficient home design to support these women.

Site | Shotgun House in Kansas City, Mo.

Concept | Between the Lines

The two lines act as a metaphor to guide young homeless pregnant women on the right track to success.

Our design supports the idea that you can stay on the right path even with the untraditional route if given the right resources to succeed.

Social Challenge | Homeless Pregnant Youth

Nearly 4.2 million adolescents and young adults in America experience some type of homelessness during a 12 month period that they are pregnant. As a woman we wanted to create a safe place for this number of youth to decrease.
