House 4 is a collaborative project between five University of Idaho students, COLAB Architecutre + Urban Design, Teal Studio, and the Hills and Rivers Affordable Housing Trust. Starting in January of 2025 we began conceptual design and by the end of the Spring semester we finalized the design and began preparing for construction. The house was completed in October of 2025 when it was open for public viewing.

Introduction

The fourth house finds itself within a small neigh-

borhood where each year a different group of five

to six students work to design and build a house. In

the neighborhood there will end up being a total of

six unique homes that are then sold at an affordable

rate first time home buyers. However the Hills and Rivers Affordable Housing Trust retain ownership over

the land.
