Ken Czarnomski created this live project as a way to help discover sustainable solutions in efforts to combat the affordable housing crisis in NC.  This modular home was built by A-B Tech Construction Management Students with lots of collaborations with other departments and community groups.  The structure features advanced framing techniques such as super insulated box headers, earthen plaster in master bedroom, energy efficient windows, bamboo flooring, use of many recycled materials, flexible design to fit different occupant needs, and many other custom features.  The home got a NC Healthy Built Home certification for energy efficiency and has recently been sold to another community organization, the Asheville Police Department.  The APD plans on using the space for a remote station/community center. 

While built as a home, Ken’s flexible design allows the space to be used for multiple purposes.  A live project fund has been created in an effort to sustain these types of projects for future A-B Tech curriculum students.  For more information on how to support these projects or to donate, please visit our .
