DEMONSTRATION
PLANS
The patterns presented in this book are intended for use by builders, developers, and producers of manufactured housing, as well as individual home owners as they renovate and
rebuild their own houses. The biggest challenge will be to communicate the values and
character of Louisiana architecture to a national homebuilding industry.
To demonstrate the use of the Pattern Book, a workshop was conducted using standard
plans provided by various builders. Each plan was then transformed by using the patterns
in the book for a particular style. It is recommended that the green design guidelines be followed to ensure an energy-efficient house. These are illustrated in the demonstration plans
by showing the standard plan and elevation (as given) alongside the modified plan and
transformed elevation for that house design. The patterns in this book have been modified
to meet current construction practices and include patterns with a wide range of costs.
On the following pages, we present a collection of houses, some manufactured, some
using conventional wood frame, and some using the SIP panel method. These houses have
been designed by various architects and are illustrative of the patterns presented in this book.

Pattern Book.

B U I LDE R PRODUCTION HOUSE

This ranch style house is a standard model

currently being used in Florida by a developer
interested in building in Louisiana. The plans
were provided to the LRA by Aercon, LLC. It
was modified in plan by adjusting the garage
location and the arrangement of living spaces.
A porch was added. Instead of the Spanish
style of the Florida model, the architectural
elements from the Louisiana Vernacular section of this Pattern Book were used.

MODULAR HOUSE

This two-story house, provided to the LRA

by Integrity Building Systems, is built with
four modules. Within the constraints of the
manufacturer, this house was modified by
adding a porch and using architectural elements from the Louisiana Victorian section
of this Pattern Book.

D E M O N S T R AT I O N 4 :

ROWHOUSE

These three-story, park-under rowhouses are

typical models used by one of the nations
largest home builders. The only modification
in plan was to rearrange the stairs on the
ground level. Galleries and balconies were
added. Elements from both the Louisiana
Vernacular and Louisiana Classical sections
of this Pattern Book were used to create two
distinct elevations.
