A submission to the San Francisco Affordable Housing Challenge, this project proposes to use seemingly unbuildable, "leftover" plots of land in the urban grid as a locus for sustainably designed microhousing developments. The oddly shaped slivers of land that have resulted where San Francisco’s city grid meets the oblique line of the Pacific Ocean are perfect for this type of activity. This proposal uses vacant land at the ocean end of Taraval Avenue to posit several basic precepts: first, use open, airy design as a means of maximizing the use of available land; second, create a range of unit sizes to increase diversity of housing stock; and third, make housing that is affordable because it is small, not because it is cheap.
