Project Overview:
Working with Matt’s Place Foundation, Miller Hull created a sustainable, replicable 1,500-sq-ft home tailored to the needs of ALS patients’ and their family members or caretakers. The carport and covered roof deck provide weather-protected spaces for the patient to move from vehicle to wheelchair safely and benefits from being in nature. Cross-laminated timber walls and ceilings accommodate weather barriers, structural splines, recessed outlets, and accessible plumbing chases, while also providing a warm, biophilic environment for patient well-being. The property is equipped with smart technology tailored for ALS patients, including home control systems operated by the occupant’s eye movements.
