For those residing along the coastal region of North and South Carolinas, the seasonal concern

with regards to home safety and structural integrity related to hurricanes and tropical storms can be daunting. A hurricane-resistant home kit available for purchase will be of interest to those

seeking such peace of mind.

At approximately 3,200 square feet of living space, this custom-built, unique, energy-efficient,

hurricane-resistant structure was designed as a three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom configuration,

but can easily accommodate a four-bedroom and 4.5-bathroom layout. The idea is built

around three “pods” and attaching breezeways that serve to join the pods and as a functional

space such as an office, mediation room, children’s study, art room, laundry room or whatever

the owner determines best suits their layout needs. Large windows and French sliding glass doors complement the design and integrates connection to the outdoors. In addition, the design includes a porte cochere (covered carport) at the main entrance.

Designed by a local North Carolina developer, this structure can serve not only as a

home, but as a business or any combination of such, knowing that the design and fabrication

are engineered to withstand high winds associated with hurricanes and is ideal for coastal regions. Delivery of the home kit is arranged between a transport contractor and yourself to the

desired build site via four, 40-foot shipping containers, and as such, with the right planning and resources, onsite construction can be completed in weeks compared to months.
