A Pattern Book for Neighborly Houses
A design guide for Habitat home builders across the country
The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) and the U.S. Area Office of Habitat for Humanity International embarked upon a national collaboration with UDA to provide a pattern book that would assist affiliates in transforming their existing house designs to better fit into their communities and fulfill their social mission. A Pattern Book for Neighborly Houses provides both an operating manual and prototype house designs that will enable Habitat for Humanity affiliates to design houses that build strong neighborhoods and accommodate the future homeowner. The document includes Architectural Patterns for four primary styles that are found in neighborhoods across the United States. LaQuatra Bonci Associates contributed on this project.
