Original post Dec 18th 2008- Blog Beginning

CORA, the Congress of Residential Architecture, is a group of residential designer and architects working together to improve the quailty of residential architecture.

One of it’s members (David Andreozzi) recently posted the idea of designing a simple, smaller house for the middle class. While this project began as a chance to explore more mainstream housing for him, the challenge of designing a simple, yet efficient home was eventually opened to everyone. So, I thought I would design my own version and use this tumbler blog to post my design process. David’s blog for his process can be seen here:

The original parameters set for were for the design:

To be at 2100 s.f.

expected cost of about $225/s.f. (exclusive of land costs)

I will try and begin my design this weekend at the latest, and post the process here.
