Camarillo: Maximizing Impact in Tight Spaces

Location: Camarillo, CA

Partner: Azure Printed Homes

Challenge: Extremely Narrow Infill Lot (25' Wide)

Constraint Breeds Creativity

When lot dimensions are tight, RPM finds ways to keep construction moving. The City of Camarillo is taking a proactive initiative to combat homelessness by developing new supportive housing, but the available land presented a significant engineering challenge: the only viable lot was just 25 feet wide.

To turn this sliver of land into a community asset, RPM Team partnered with Azure Printed Homes to efficiently design a site plan that accommodates six new tiny homes without sacrificing livability or code compliance.

A Streamlined Partnership

Success on a site this constrained requires precision and cooperation. Our design team worked hand-in-hand with the City of Camarillo’s internal team, identifying design efficiencies early in the process. This close collaboration allowed us to streamline the project approval process, ensuring that regulatory hurdles did not slow down the urgent need for housing.

Rapid Deployment

The project utilizes a "plug-and-play" construction model designed for speed. The tiny homes will arrive on-site fully completed on chassis. Once delivered, they will be craned and secured onto their permanent foundations. This method minimizes on-site disruption and results in lightning-fast construction, transforming an underutilized narrow lot into a functional housing solution in record time.
