BUILDING / EAST BILOXI / A HOUSE FOR MARK

This is Mark.
Mark lived in his father's house for several years, but it was damaged beyond repair in the storm. What was left was deconstructed by a group that reuses building materials; Mark's house was distributed to volunteer organizations around the coast.

Mark lives by himself and does not need a large house. He wanted one bedroom, a living room and a kitchen. At thirty-five feet wide, his lot is narrower than the typical Biloxi lot. The restrictions of the setbacks and the side driveway dictated the long narrow plan.

Mark's House is a partnership between the EBCRRA and Compassion First.
