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.
