The Shotgun House Project
The Shotgun House Project
Miletus Group’s Shotgun Homes are
architectural-quality, permanent modular buildings designed to fit into New
Orleans’ neighborhoods as if they had been there for a century or more. These
ingenious modular structures are substantial homes, fully compliant with
current building codes and FEMA standards, offering a sustainable, permanent solution to the current
and near-term housing needs of New Orleans.
“Hurricane Katrina’s lasting
effects have created a massive housing deficit in New Orleans,” states Miletus
Group president James B. Guthrie, AIA. “This housing dilemma is exacerbated by
labor shortages and the high price of available building materials. Our premise
was to build high quality, and architecturally sensitive homes off site, away
from the stresses of New Orleans’ building environment. These modular buildings
could then be put in place quickly, reducing time to occupancy, and alleviating
much of the inconvenience and noise pollution in the neighborhoods where they
are being constructed.” Miletus is renowned for their sustainable building
expertise, particularly in modular structures.
The Shotgun Project offers a
variety of home options, from fully completed and ready-for-occupancy, to fully
customizable homes that are left partially unfinished as a more affordable
choice for more handy do-it-yourselfers in need of immediate shelter. “The
innovative Shotgun House design recalls the past, while providing comfortable,
modern housing for its occupants,” states Guthrie. “It is a durable and
permanent solution for a desirable housing type that is based on generations of
New Orleans history and precedent.”
