The St. Judes Dream Home Giveaway fundraiser program in Billings, Montana was taken on by McCall Development. The builder integrated the house into the Josephine Crossing Subdivision, where the firm was already working with Studio 4 Architects on designing and constructing a neighborhood development. Both local and national businesses donated all of the labor, materials, and land for the project, allowing all of the money made from the house’s raffle to go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The 1,920 square foot two-storey house is a first in two ways; one it is the first project St. Jude’s has constructed in Montana, and two it is the first residential project in Montana to seriously aim for net zero energy. |
