The Dominion Housing Act Architectural Competition, open to architects in Canada, was held for the purpose of securing designs for low-cost houses. The program required that each house should have at least three bedrooms and that the total volume of the house should not exceed 17,000 cubic feet. The house was designed for the home average Canadian family and was to conform with the Dominion Housing Act Minimum Standards of Construction.
