UNIQUE FEATURES OF MODEL HOUSE:
In order to strengthen the houses of typhoon-stricken communities, structural engineers have suggested adding a DIAGONAL BRACE on each side of the house.
Because the diagonal brace has diminished space for windows, WOODEN LOUVRES have been added from floor to ceiling.
Homeowners will improve on this basic shelter along the way. Based on their future plans, homeowners determine placement and number of WINDOWS.
