Sag Harbor Community Housing Trust commissioned this project to address the area’s urgent need for workforce housing. The cottages are a replicable model for affordable housing that is sensitive to the small-scale residential typology and unique ecology of the twin forks of Long Island. The one- and three –bedroom houses are all assembled from combinations of two basic prefabricated modules. The site arrangement includes individual front yards and rear decks, connecting side porches and a shared garden path. In this way, the design encourages community interaction and recreation, while also creating private outdoor spaces that extend the house into the landscape.
As project manager I prepared drawings for a NYS DHCR grant application and reviewed bid proposals from both general contractors (for all site work, setting and ‘button up’ scope) and from modular construction companies.
