UW BLA students, Hanbeom Lee, Vasilisa Karp, and Jessica Liao, participated in the MICROHOME Tiny House Design Competition. During their research on the chosen topic of housing for individuals experiencing homelessness, they discovered the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) and decided to build a tiny house themselves in order to better understand how these houses are constructed in order to improve upon them.

The trio of students were able to realize their thorough plans and create a proof of concept tiny house, built in Gould Hall’s fabrication lab!
