This is the Dogtrot style of housing, which like the shotgun style, is very unique to the South. This website includes plans with dimensions to build a dogtrot style house. I used these plans, but also altered the design in order to address community and shade. I made the porches face each other in order to create a courtyard, making people face each other and ultimately trying to create community interaction. Also, I added a porch and extended roof on the southern side of the house in order to shade the southern walls and windows.
