Cottages & Cold Brew

MicroLife Institute presents an in-depth, 90-minute tour of our pilot project, the Cottages on Vaughan. Beginning on the hour, enjoy an introductory lesson on micro spaces, the design principles behind "pocket neighborhoods", and the concepts behind the site's unique climate resilient landscape. Participants will be led on a guided tour through the Cottages, where they will get to chat with the homeowners and get a firsthand feel for living in a micro home!

Each tour this year will feature a guest speaker in the world of housing, innovation, equity and sustainability.

Stay tuned for more information regarding future guest speakers!
