Defensible Housing:

The Gallinas Creek Trail - Las Vegas, NM

Solar Panel Carport:

These shaded structures can be placed over parking lots in order to reduce the urban heat effect from the asphalt parking lot.

Each living unit of the QCabins will have three parking spaces. Each have their own carport with solar panels on top. Solar panels on top can reduce energy costs of the building. Every occupant can access their individual QCabin home from the parking lot.

According to the international building code (IBC) requirements for Fire/Life Safety, windows need to be large enough for occupants to escape. Located on each floor are windows that are all 36 inches by 80 inches or glass doors that also function as windows.
