Yardsized

Yardsized is a term used to describe a type of housing that is designed to be more affordable and sustainable than traditional single-family homes. The concept was popularized by architect Michael Green and his company, Green Building Solutions, in the 1970s. Yardsized homes are typically smaller in size, ranging from 800 to 1,200 square feet, and are designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. They often feature open floor plans, large windows, and natural light, which can make them feel more spacious than their actual size. Yardsized homes are also designed to be more affordable than traditional homes, with lower construction costs and lower utility bills. They are often built on smaller lots, which can also help to reduce the overall cost of ownership. Yardsized homes have gained popularity in recent years as a response to the growing demand for affordable and sustainable housing. They are often seen as a viable alternative to traditional single-family homes, particularly in urban and suburban areas where land is scarce and expensive. However, yardsized homes may not be suitable for everyone, as they may not provide enough space for large families or those with specific housing needs.
