A House For Mark

Community Partners : East Biloxi Coordination Center
Building Partners: Compassion First BFS

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.
