Gulf Coast Emergency House Plans


Book Description

It is a book based on the architectual charrettes rebuilding the gulf coast after hurricane Katrina and the house plans for cottages that came out of it. The book contains 17 different house plans all varying in sizes. The cottages are small, affordable and extremely sturdy. We hope these cottages will replace FEMA trailers and all trailers in the future. We also hope to spread this idea world wide to provide afforadable dignified housing for people (Africa is in the works) who need it and not just hurricane victims. A second book will be out soon and will include commercial cottages.
