News: Arch Nexus Builds Tiny Home to Fight Homelessness
For a number of years we have supported a culture of philanthropy by giving additional leave days to employees for volunteering to support a cause they believe in. This year we pooled our collective efforts and talents to tackle the issue of homelessness through a Seattle Based visionary program known as The BLOCK Project. The program invites communities into the task of ending homelessness by placing a 125 square foot tiny home on every residentially zoned block in the City of Seattle.
Here at Arch Nexus, we have contributed by leveraging our own philanthropy program as well as their experience in designing environmentally regenerative dwellings to build and donate a BLOCK Home that is also a Certified Living Building. Over the past 6 months we have put literal blood, sweat, and tears into this project.
The time to send this tiny home on to a host family in Seattle has come. A celebration held at Arch Nexus today, gave guests the opportunity to step inside and see the home. On the morning of October 31st the structure will be prepped for its journey, hoisted onto a truck, and bid farewell as it travels to Seattle.
