Affordable Housing

featured on Lunchbox Architect.
Affordable housing is becoming an increasing issue. On Lunchbox Architect, one of our priorities is to feature homes that are affordable for their demographic. Obviously the whole concept of 'affordable' is subjective and geographically specific. In Lunchbox Architect's case, we try to feature homes that are low budget or low cost relative to other homes in the area. You won't see any multi-million dollar mansions here. Instead, you'll find well-designed, affordable homes.

Edwards Moore Architects's Cubby House is a pint-sized apartment packed full of fun. A cubby house made not for kids, but for sophisticated adults.
This micro apartment is like an empty shell - to cook, dress, sleep, eat or entertain you have to rearrange modules and 'build' a new space. It's like lego!
The age-old advice is to buy the worst house on the best street. Doll's House was the smallest house in the trendiest neighborhood, does that count?

Tight site, stringent planning and heritage controls, and a difficult orientation -- Nic Owen Architects pull off the architectural equivalent of a miracle.
This 'Bach' - a New Zealand term for a small holiday shack - is built inside a shipping container. It's a self-contained, portable, and fun retreat for a family of four.
For less than the price of a new car, a rusty old shipping container is transformed into a stunning guest house. What a bargain!
