The goal of this development was to create a new prototype for single family homes as urban infill. These two detached residences were designed to fit on the equivalent of one typical single family lot. Each unit was 1800 square feet; built on speculation for future sale. Both homes sold prior to completion of construction.
The designs meant to address the conditions of the economy in 2010 and the emerging values for sustainable living in Dallas, Texas.

Background
The AIA Dallas Young Architects Forum (YAF) is excited to announce to young architects the YAF Ten Under Ten Portfolio Competition, an opportunity to showcase your built and un-built design work to the Dallas Community at large! Ten individuals will have the opportunity to display their work at the Dallas Center for Architecture, as well as in different venues throughout the Dallas area.
The YAF is committed to the continual education and community awareness of the young architects at small, large and young practices in Dallas, by striving to encourage leadership and professional development while being the voice of young professionals through mentorship programs, strong relationships with the construction industry and offering design and recognition opportunities for its members. A ‘Young Architect’ is considered to be a practicing architect who has been licensed for ten years or less. Prior to becoming a licensed architect, a person is typically an intern with the title of Associate if a member of AIA.
The YAF Ten Under Ten Portfolio Competition has the purpose of bringing awareness and providing recognition to our young architecture practices in Dallas. This is the platform where sole practitioners and small firms all with ten years of experience or less, can be recognized by their peers for their innovative and emerging practices that continue to shape our community.
