Suburban Tract

Currently housing is mass produced on a mammoth scale, in controlled factories and out in the converted farmland of exurbia. Thousands of houses at a time are rolled out on blindingly fast schedules, with sequenced assembly line-like efficiency sometimes as little as 40 days - it is the fast food of shelter.

The metrics were simple: 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms minimum, 2 car garage mandatory.

The house needed to meet or exceed the economics of the competition. For more visit the suburban tract house
