ReFrame is a project aim to design and build a tiny house that the homeless community in Ann Arbor called Camp Take Notice can make use of it and use this house as a model and build multiple for each of their members.
Purpose:
- Provide the homeless people a sense of security and stability which help them to rebuild their life
- Give them confidence in life by letting them learn and build their own house.
- Make it possible for Camp Take Notice to get authorization from the governement to build a healthy, safe, and supportive homeless community in a unused land.
- Allow the homeless to have their own privacy and respect. At the same time, a strong supportive community.
The following are my Tiny House design proposal:
- Lots of natural lighting:
-Save energy use
-Give positive vibe into the space
-Allow the homeless to be more integrated into the community by allowing them to see what's happening outside of their house.
- Maximize space
- Lots of storage area integrated into the furnitures
- Loft for sleeping and resting
- Maintain clean and comfortable environment
- Storage that is hidden in the bench or behind stairs or above the seating area so one living in it will not see all the things in the house
- Open space for one to move around freely instead of crammed little pathways
- Provide privacy
- Loft provides a personal space that people from the outside will not be able to look in which balance out the open windows at the first floor.
