Project Details:

Location: Nederland, Colorado

Designer: Michael Quirk

Footprint: 120 square feet

From the Designer: “The project is a 120-square-foot tiny home in Nederland, Colorado, built with hemp insulation, reused siding, windows, and doors. The goal of the project is to highlight the opportunity we have to turn the construction industry’s contribution to climate change on its head. A carbon negative material pallet, paired with net-zero energy usage is the way we need to start building to solve the climate crisis. This project is proof that it can be done, even on a shoestring budget.”
