North American single-family zoning, born out of an idealization of the nuclear family, inadvertently precludes the fostering of sustainable densities and inclusivity in housing. Diasporic communities have housing needs unmet by the present framework, not least because these homes, with their rigid life prescriptions, neither accommodate the diverse family structures nor align with sustainable development goals. Contemporary zoning, designed primarily for uninuclear families, fall short of addressing various diaspora鈥檚 cultural, economic, and ecological requisites.1 This project suggests an evolution鈥攂y advocating for the 鈥淓xtended Family Home鈥 typology, envisioning neighborhoods of sustainable density without sacrificing their existing character.
