Project 2.3.

1 Affordable Housing Design (MOON MODIFIED)

Introduction
Across America, several organizations and communities provide
programs that design and build affordable homes so that people can
realize the dream of owning their own homes. Creating this opportunity often involves logistically
ensuring that the financial burden on the homeowner is reasonable. Affordable homes should also
be affordable to maintain and to support. The designer or architect must determine that balance
when designing layout, functions, and material choices. The designer should also strive to create
a product with universal design so that any occupant can utilize the home without adaptation in
the present or future.
Constraints

The design should follow Habitat for Humanity guidelines and adhere to residential codes.
Universal design features must be incorporated into the design.
Green and sustainable features must be incorporated into the design.
