Housing Agency
Housing Agency

Summary/Abstract: Incremental or progressive housing are starter homes designed specifically to facilitate owner adaptation and expansion. The base unit can vary greatly in size and completeness, but includes all amenities necessary for immediate occupancy – bathroom, kitchen, utilities, etc. Designs are developed in various degrees of consultation with eventual occupants, or their representatives (housing associations, non-profit or sponsoring agencies) and post-occupancy development may be self-built or contracted, wholly left to individual owners or mediated by resident associations. Parameters for user expansions may be explicit, as in the latter case, or implicit (built into the design of the unit and/or its aggregation).
