Katrina Cottages: Andres Duany

http://www.katrinacottages.com/plans/index.html

Katrina Cottages were originally conceived as Tiny Cottages to replace FEMA trailers with sturdy, permanent structures worthy of being kept for a hundred years or more. But they have grown beyond that original goal. Because the original goals of the Katrina Cottage movement were broad enough (deliver high-quality architecture appropriate to the regional conditions, climate, and culture that can be delivered using the five principal methods: manufactured, modular, kits, panelized, and site-built,) they easily included other building types. Today, many building types can be delivered the Katrina Way if the buildings are small enough and meet other state and local requirements (see Architectural Registration section below.)
