Emergency Residential

During this recession it is hard to imagine any new residential construction in an area which is composed of many homes and seasonal structures. However, natural disasters have a way of provoking action. In this view which is part of the area hit by a series of Tornadoes which has become all to common lately, the county of Middlesex showed little resistance to 156-164mph winds. While many of the reports have gained exposure in the national media, we see here, a concentration of houses which is not uncommon in this part of the vacation community of Deltaville.

While little can be done to combat the cause of the storm, several measures which these 1940-50 houses did not employ for their construction will be used in rebuilding. In the coming weeks I  will post several designs which are in response to replacing the condemned houses along this corridor of destruction.
