The Katrina Kernal Cottage II

After a devastating storm, a new solution for low-cost housing

From Jackie Craven, About.com

After Hurricane Katrina destroyed homes and communities along America's Gulf Coast, architects and designers developed cheerful, inexpensive, energy-efficient emergency housing known as "Katrina Cottages." These photos show a version of the Katrina Cottage designed by architect Steve Mouzon. Like other versions of the Katrina Cottage, Steve Mouzon's "Katrina Kernal Cottage II" is constructed with decay-resistant steel framing and steel-reinforced wall board.
