A House for Paula
Community Partners : International Relief and Development
Building Partners: Mennonite Disaster Services, International Relief and Development
Paula lives on a beautiful rural site with several rescue animals. She was grown children nearby, and their children are often visiting at Paula's house. Paula has lived in a MEMA cottage on site sense soon after Hurricane Katrina, which left her previous home inhabitable. Her incredible patience never wore out throughout the process, even when living feet away from a construction site.
The house design includes two bedrooms, a large front porch with screened in porch turned away from the front for better views of the garden and animals rather than the road. The house was designed to fit within several existing trees at a highpoint on Paula's property. A back entrance into a tiled room with a washing sink will help Paula keep and clean the animals she shelters without losing a welcoming front "peoples" entrance.
