Description:

TSW was engaged to develop prototypical residential plans for New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest as part of an innovative mixed use community initiative. The project introduces a series of thoughtfully designed two and three bedroom “micro homes,” ranging from approximately 650 to over 1,200 square feet.

While more compact than conventional single family housing, these homes offer significantly greater livability than traditional tiny homes, which are typically under 400 square feet, by incorporating efficient layouts, flexible living spaces, and modern amenities.

The residential component is integrated within a broader mixed use development that will feature neighborhood serving retail, dining, and recreational spaces, creating a walkable and connected community environment. This approach supports attainable housing while fostering a vibrant sense of place for residents and visitors alike.
