This document describes the design of a sustainable housing project based on traditional Creole cottages in New Orleans. Key features include a main three-bedroom unit at the front and a one-bedroom rear unit that can be combined or used separately. The raised structure is set back to optimize solar orientation around a central courtyard. Natural cross ventilation and stack effect ventilation are maximized using room layouts, high windows, and sloped ceilings. Rainwater is collected and reused for irrigation and plumbing, while stormwater is managed through swales and rain gardens. Construction uses prefabricated structural insulated panels for efficiency, and sustainable materials provide a highly insulated building envelope.
