Wartime Housing

  Many of those houses were darling and for the mid 20th century, quite adequate for many. Of course, postwar, there were many plants shut down, so those houses weren't likely needed in some areas. The projects erected across the river in Detroit were nowhere near as attractive. It took ten years for them to completely dismantle the projects three blocks from my neighborhood.

  I have been fascinated by the wartime house and how there practicality and affordability caused them to outlive there government planned demise. I am researching how adapting the designs to energy efficient models could be a possible solution to the affordable housing crisis especially in smaller towns and villages. Obviously the Now House project has already seen their potential as they retrofit existing ones into net zero houses.
