Photo of the Week: UMass Design Build Small House

The students of the UMass Architecture Department, under the direction of Professor Carl Fiocchi and the team at UMass Design Build have been constructing small houses from scratch for the last few semesters: small low-carbon or net-zero houses intended as affordable housing. This one — called Casita de Vida — is scheduled to join its neighbors in Holyoke in mid-November.
