Shotgun

The shotgun is one of Southern Louisiana’s signature residential architectural forms. These houses are typically one-room wide and two or more rooms long. This project was to design a double shotgun that has both residential and public program. I designed a double shotgun for an elderly, disabled couple - one who is wheelchair bound and the other is deaf. The public program in their house is a reading room which is a space to hold community gatherings, specifically book club meetings.
