Project Goals:

•Enhance the long-term livability of the cottages

•Enhance the curb appeal of the cottages in the context of
the neighborhoods where they are located

MISSISSIPPI COTTAGE PROGRAM
EXPANSION ALTERNATIVES

 •Single module: Expands the front living
 space and widens the façade of the
 cottages to be more compatible with
 surrounding homes.


                          •Dual modules: One module expands the
                          front living area and one adds an
                          additional bedroom and bath.




•Combinations: Two Park Models or two
MS Cottages combined to create both
single family and duplex dwellings

                                              4

•2br-2ba, 880 SF Single-Family home
created by combining 2 Park Models. A

    CONSIDERATIONS FOR FUTURE ALTERNATIVE HOUSING




                                      46
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
RECOMMENDATIONS

From the onset of a disaster:
   •Prepare engineered drawings for expansion options
   as part of the project budget
   •Seek public-private partnerships for initial
   placement of disaster units to facilitate their ultimate
   permanent placement upon the same property
   •Build models of expanded permanent cottages to
   garner community support for permanent placement

•Incorporate pre-framed openings and mechanical stub-
outs to simplify expansion

•Maintain the same roof pitch across modules to
facilitate combining models.

•Make Park Model HC adaptable even if not fully UFAS
compliant to facilitate use as senior housing.   47
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
FUTURE MODULE ALTERNATIVES

•Consider an alternative Park Model that is less a scaled
down version of a single-wide mobile home and more
like a compact hotel studio suite that will accept full
sized bedroom furniture. This will facilitate utilizing it as
an expansion module for a larger module

•Consider constructing units with a flat roof and/or
without a front porch in a manner that a pitched roof and
porch could be added later. This would result is initial
cost savings, greater flexibility for expansion and a
greater variety of porch and roof styles once the units
become permanent.

•Consider constructing a portion of the modular units
with mirror imaged floor plans to facilitate combining
modules to create permanent duplexes
                                                      48
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
FUTURE DESIGN OPTIONS



2 BR 1 BA MODULE
Specific recommendations:
•Relocate washer/dryer to hall closet
instead of in the open hall

•Reconfigure handicapped accessible
bath to allow access directly from
master bedroom

•Relocate rear door to allow potential
future use as a duplex (requires mirror
imaged floor plans for a portion of the
units)


                                          49
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
FUTURE DESIGN OPTIONS



2 BR 1 BA DUPLEX
758 SF each

•More efficient use of land and
infrastructure

•Excellent product for
affordable and senior housing




                                  50

52
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
FUTURE MODULE ALTERNATIVES

FLAT ROOF MODULE

•Lower initial cost

•Initial utilitarian design
clearly understood to be
temporary unless expanded
and re-roofed.

•Generates less of a false
sense of permanency.

•Creates building blocks for
future long-term housing



                               53
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
FUTURE MODULE ALTERNATIVES

FLAT ROOF MODULE

•Box-like structures with pre-
framed door openings facilitate
future expansion/combination

•Parapet designed to support
future pitched roof of 7 in 12 or
greater

•Modules can be conventionally
framed or built with Structural
Insulated Panels (SIPS)




                                    54
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
FUTURE MODULE ALTERNATIVES

FLAT ROOF MODULE
PERMANENT
INSTALLATION

•Offers potential for much
greater architectural variety
by constructing the
permanent roof and porch at
a later stage.

•Pitched roofs can be
factory built or built with
volunteer labor.




                                55
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
      FUTURE MODULE ALTERNATIVES


FLAT ROOF MODULE
Advantages:

•Without the pitched roof initially,
modules with higher ceilings and
transom windows can still be
easily transported

•Taller facades enhance the
exterior building proportions




                                       56
FEMA ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
FUTURE MODULE ALTERNATIVES


FLAT ROOF MODULE

Provides opportunity for
affordable housing
organizations to leverage
federal investment by
converting the modules into
permanent housing that is
indistinguishable from
conventional housing.

Modular approvals would be
applied for predicated on the
expansion and the addition
of a pitched roof within a

Editor's Notes

  • #53: In order to make a duplex work, it needs a roof over the two joined modules. That would be simpler and more economical to accomplish if you start out with a flat roof and parapet.
