The Wooden House Project and The National House Project
The Wooden House Project is a series focusing on Brooklyn’s wood frame homes. Founded by Elizabeth Finkelstein, the show brings together a broad community interested in history and architecture to showcase the unique style of these homes. Not only does the series showcase historic homes, but it also offers inspiration to potential owners of wood frame homes. During our visit, Finkelstein gave us a tour of several of the houses that have been featured on the show.
The development team, led by Dattner Architects, was chosen by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to work on the House Project. The team includes Dattner Architects, who have designed over 3,500 units for the city in the past five years. Those working on the project have a unique understanding of the needs and challenges of young adults who have been in residential care. The project is a way to provide those same young adults with the structures and guidance they need to move on with their lives.
The HOME House Project is a multi-year, national design initiative that addresses three pressing issues: affordability, design, and sustainability. The project’s initial launch was organized by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The group challenged architects and designers to create a vision for a future where environmentally-friendly housing would be the norm, not just the exception. Ultimately, the HOME House Project has the potential to make housing a more sustainable, environmentally friendly option for people around the world.
For many projects, a soil report and boundary survey are required before work can begin. Surveyors usually take about two weeks, but they can also charge more depending on the scope of the project and location. Additionally, if the project involves internal remodeling, interior measurements must be taken. The survey should be as detailed as possible, including measurements of all rooms and walls. You should also check the zoning laws in your neighborhood to ensure the building meets all local requirements.
The National House Project is a charity that provides expertise and support to local authorities to set up their own Local House Projects. Its aim is to build homes for young people leaving care and provide them with a supportive environment as they transition from foster care to independence. The National House Project also aims to reduce the amount of young people who end up in institutions as a result of care, leaving the care system. This project aims to reduce the number of young people accessing institutions and homeless initiatives through its peer-support model.
