We're proud to announce the completion of The Picket Fence. The Picket Fence serves as a framework for builders to take measured risk in delivering housing solutions that exceed consumer expectations, align with household financial realities, and are easier to construct. Using data-driven design to tackle wellness, sustainability, and affordability head on, this modular built concept home is a blueprint for a new standard of living. This was an incredible opportunity to collaborate with a world class team of designers, systems-built housing experts, product development leaders, building performance experts, and researchers. Three sustainability goals were set for The Picket Fence, with measurements verified by various collaborators. Goal 1 — High-Performance Home: Built following the spirit of the Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program. Though not fully certified, the home successfully exceeded DOE’s ZERH standard. Goal 2 — 90% Less Waste Generation: Monitoring the construction process we observed the project generated less than 0.5 pounds of waste per square foot, a stark contrast to the 4.4 pounds per square foot typical of site-built homes. Goal 3 — Carbon Emissions Reduction: Compared to traditional new home construction, The Picket Fence was able to achieve a 58% reduction in carbon emissions.

We're not reviewing books, but we do have to give a recommendation to “A Paradise of Small Houses: The Evolution, Devolution, and Potential Rebirth of Urban Housing” by by Max Podemski. Max walks readers through the streets of America’s neighborhoods that reveals the rich history—and future—of urban housing. This resonates with the market appeal of The Picket Fence Concept Home.

On the one-year anniversary of legalized ADUs in Cincinnati, this piece does a solid job of explaining what's transpired, the challenges, and real-world examples of residents building ADUs in backyards of existing homes. Looking ahead, projects like The Picket Fence Concept Home are being constructed from the ground up with an integrated ADU complete with its own strong sense of arrival and front porch, creating a welcoming vibe while promoting a sense of community engagement - a thoughtful option for new neighborhoods complimenting the expansion of existing neighborhoods through rear and side year ADU options. https://lnkd.in/gZa_cmRk ActivePure RHEIA, LLC Greenheck Group Allegheny Structural Components Inc.

"We want to be the city where you don’t have to choose between economic prosperity and housing affordability.” As many cities grapple with housing issues, at our Housing Innovation Summit we experienced first hand that the City of Denver and the State of Colorado are taking bold approaches to prioritize increasing supply and ensuring equitable access. Here are some key takeaways from our fireside session with Denver Mayor Mike Johnston + Santhosh Ramdoos of Gary Community Ventures: ✔ Continue actions to reform permitting and zoning processes, with a goal of 30% reduction in permitting time by year end. ✔ Create pathways & financing structures to streamline supply & standup units quickly, while working with residents to demonstrate the broader benefits increasing household count in their neighborhoods ✔ Maintain focus on a strategy to promote private sector support in developing both market-rate & affordable units ✔ Lead Affordable Denver through a citywide goal to permit, secure, finance or support development and preservation of 5,000 long term affordable housing units annually Mayor Johnston envisions a future with a mix of affordable & market-rate housing throughout the city, fostering a city that remains economically vibrant while ensuring a spectrum of housing solutions for its residents to thrive. Watch his session to learn more about that vision. https://lnkd.in/gRPDFJh4
