Lowe's Home Improvement: The Katrina Cottage

This page was hard to find on the Lowe's site, so I thought I'd surface it here.

To help address permanent-housing issues caused by Gulf Coast storms, designer Marianne Cusato created the Katrina Cottage. Designed to be functional, efficient and affordable, the cottage is a permanent residence constructed of quality materials.

Additional uses—as a vacation retreat, campground cabin, or guesthouse, the Katrina Cottage's quality materials and quick assembly make it a perfect permanent solution.

The Katrina Cottage Home Page has a model gallery with cottage floor plans, a list of stores in Louisiana and Mississippi that will be the first to sell these kits, and an FAQ (pdf).

You can see how these plans and kits compare to actual soon to be demolished New Orleans architecture by looking at the Squandered Heritage blog, part of the Think New Orleans project.
