Jeffrey Commons Mini Home Village
Jeffrey Commons was designed for Sponsors Inc., an organization dedicated to helping formerly incarcerated individuals successfully reintegrate into the community. This affordable housing development provides compact, thoughtfully designed tiny homes that support a healthy, independent, and dignified lifestyle. Each home includes a private entry porch, living and sleeping areas, a kitchen, and a full bathroom, with generous windows offering daylight and views while maintaining privacy.
The 10 homes are arranged as five duplexes around a central courtyard with walkways, lawn, ornamental landscaping, and food garden beds. A Common Building anchors the community, offering a meeting room with kitchen, laundry facilities, and secure bike storage. Outdoor amenities, including two sheltered gazebos and seating areas, create multiple opportunities for connection and relaxation throughout the year.
Designed for material and construction efficiency along with durability, the buildings incorporate simple forms, modular dimensions, standard detailing, off-the-shelf components, and durable finishes. The roofs are made with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) that are prefabricated off-site, installed rapidly, and help reduce labor, time, and cost.
