The Katrina Cottage, designed by the architectural firm of Duany Plater-Zyberk, was intended as an alternative to the dreaded "FEMA trailer" for housing victims of hurricanes ---at about the same cost as a trailer.
Unlike a FEMA trailer, the Katrina Cottage is PERMANENT HOUSING that can later be enlarged by the homeowner.
Home Front Homes employees erected the walls and roof of the Katrina Cottage WITHIN 3 DAYS !
The entire construction project, including windows, doors, metal roof, batten siding, trimwork and painting, (without interior work) took only 6 DAYS!
