This exciting project is a ~650 sq ft, one-bedroom home where Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity is piloting the best of the small home revolution.  Learn more about our "Big Enough" house project!

The last house to be built on Garfield Avenue, this house is situated on a corner lot next to conservation land. This is also the first home Pioneer Valley Habitat has built for only one occupant. Building homes small and energy efficient makes them more affordable and sustainable, so keep an eye out for more future "big enough" builds!

See videos below of our progress, dedication ceremony, and benefits of an energy-efficient small home!
