Co-owners of Sitka Construction Solutions, Derek James and Kris Karsunky, stand in front of the four 450-square foot houses that they’re constructing for the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe. The company does standard construction projects like heat pump installs and single family homes, but lately, they’ve been focusing more on the “mini home” concept. “We could do these for the rest of our career if we wanted to,” James said. “We saw what we were expecting with the demand, and now we just have to get a process out there.” (Photo by Erin McKinstry/KCAW)
