Buildings
New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity (NOAHH) plans to build 70 single-family homes, as well as 5 two-family homes for older musicians and a music center in the core area of the Musicians' Village.
NOAHH hopes to build as many as 250 to 300 houses in the neighborhood surrounding the core site, if enough land is acquired.
The houses are designed with two, three, and four bedrooms. Homes are being built a foot above the flood level in the area, 5 feet (1.5 m), 7-inches off the ground. Habitat will use a total of seven different traditional New Orleans facades that will sometimes be flipped left to right.

Famous quotes containing the word buildings:
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
