Right-Sized Homes is a creator of sustainable homes and commercial spaces by building efficient and flexible spaces, capable of adapting over time. Right-Sized Homes stresses building smarter, not bigger, to meet clients’ needs. Smarter use of sites and building siting, concentration on rehabilitation and infill development, and re-visioning spaces for multiple uses are qualities that they bring to projects to increase efficiency and affordability of buildings

Philosophy

The idea that smarter, sustainable homes, are superior to larger homes, has been the message of Right-Sized-Homes, since its founding in 2007. “Right-Sized” homes are made to meet the needs of their occupants and to fit into the context of their given neighborhoods. With sustainability in mind, Right-Sized Homes helps maintain neighborhood stability. Right-Sized Homes works to fill in gaps or remove blight from neighborhoods that are at risk of decline. With thoughtful intervention into neighborhoods that contribute to sustainable, earth-friendly lifestyles, and possess amenities such as public transportation, infrastructure of existing public utilities, walkable routes to stores, schools and parks and where neighbors know and care for each other, Right-Sized Homes helps maintain and improve quality of life.
