True North is a newly constructed band of Quonset houses in Detroit city.
Nine huts are positioned within shouting distance of one another to create an intimate community that isn’t too close for comfort. Some of the buildings serve as work spaces, while the rest are residential units.
Each one is spacious in a newly-defined way of thinking. The living space is oh so modern, paired with community greenspace where everyone can gather.
Recently I went to visit, and there were crowds of people everywhere- inside and out. It didn’t feel cramped at all, which is pretty unbelievable!
The sides of the structures let diffused light in from both sides, and in some- the entire wall opens to let the summer sunshine in. There are porches and balconies.
Most of the structures are two stories; only two are one level. Constructed of corrugated metal fabricated by a company called SteelMaster, it’s been said that you can actually build one single-handedly— so the legend goes. (really- if you order one, it comes with instructions)!
