This project is the result of a unique partnering between Amherst College and the Western Massachusetts chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Amherst College donated the land to build four houses over the course of four years. Kuhn Riddle is provided the design of the prototype houses, which will be based on principals of sustainability. Super-insulated envelope and point source heating provide an economical alternative for affordable housing.
