Backhouse
Backhouse is a versatile housing prototype designed to alleviate Halifax's housing scarcity through adaptable and affordable solutions. This 600 square foot unit can integrate into existing single-family properties or be adjusted for suburban or rural settings, promoting gentle densification.
The materials and assemblies were chosen to align with local building culture and simple construction practices. Featuring dark wood cladding, the exterior design ensures uninterrupted integration into any environment. With a footprint of 35’ by 16’, the ground floor emphasizes a smooth transition from bedroom to living room, organized around a central service core.
