This house is a vertical structure of three levels. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a roof deck, hot tub, a two-story living room and a fireplace. With the luxury list not even completed, it is hard to believe that this house only encompasses 1200 square feet.
Church-Jett Interior
The house was featured in the June 2011 issue of Dwell Magazine and won the AIA Small Project Award for 2011.
Besides size, the Church-Jett residence is remarkable in its sustainable attributes which display huge eco-friendly design concepts. These sustainable attributes include hopper windows for natural ventilation, a structure entirely of bamboo and steel and a location that is only a short walk to the lake and nature.

Every decision that goes into the design and execution of any kind of building, especially a family’s home is crucial. For the users of such homes to demand and for the builders to execute small, elegant, sustainable living arrangements is truly a re-invention of the wheel that has been necessary for years. This is a choice that smart, eco-aware people are making. It is not only their decision of shrinking their footprint, but shrinking their lifestyles as well while maintaining comfort levels that have come to be appreciated and even demanded in modern times.
