From Design+Build Collaborative, a community LIFT in Barre
Second tiny house sited in December, providing home for holiday season
Norwich University’s students and faculty used their civic-mindedness and creativity to leave a lasting holiday gift in Barre, Vermont before the winter break. The stylish, ecologically efficient tiny home they built, LIFT 2.0, stands as an example of affordable housing’s future and marks a step toward resolving local homelessness.
LIFT 2.0 was sited Dec. 17 in a “Home for the Holidays” ceremony attended by students and faculty from Norwich’s School of Architecture+Art and Design+Build Collaborative and Norwich’s partners in the project Downstreet Housing & Community Development and Washington County Mental Health Services. The LIFT 2.0 house was made possible through a $20,000 grant from the TD Charitable Foundation, TD Bank’s charitable giving arm..
