CLAPBOARD HOUSE
The Bahamian Clapboard House which dates back to the early 1800s, developed as an Architectural style that is typically characterized as a timber framed building with overlapping wooden planks to finish the exterior walls. During this period the influence of the Architectural style reached the shores of South Florida with the migration of skilled Bahamian laborers, and is still evident today in the cities of Miami, Coral Gables, and Key West. These historic houses were originally built by Bahamian Boat-builders who used their exceptional woodworking skills in home construction to develop an Architectural style that is unique to the Bahamas and the surrounding region.
Our Clapboard House series of plans offer the Property Owner an affordable and efficient alternative to a custom designed building. These pre-designed Housing Models provide high quality Residential design for a substantial reduction in the associated Consultant fees, and a significantly reduced timeframe for the production of the Construction drawings. All the Models can be purchased as a complete set of Building plans required for Building Permit approvals and Construction documentation.
Each Model consists of the following basic Components:
-
Living / Dining / Kitchen
-
Bedroom / Bath
-
Porch
The Components are arranged in a variety of ways to create the Models and meet the unique Space requirement of the Property Owner. A detached Garage building is available upon request for all Single-family Home Models.
The use of traditional Bahamian Architecture provides the inspiration for the Building character of the Models, and the Building structures are detailed to withstand Hurricane storm force winds. The Porches and awning style Bahama shutters protect the window openings from direct sunlight, thereby reducing the indoor temperature of the buildings for lower energy cooling costs during the hot Summer months. The interior Living space of the Models are designed for maximum exposure to natural light and ventilation, while the Porches serve as a comfortable transition to the outdoors. A Site Plan is provided with each set of Building plans to ensure the best suited location for the Model on the Property Owner's building site.
Depending on the Property Owner's finish selections for the interior Living space, the estimated Building Construction cost of the Models can be in the range of $200 - $250 / sq. ft., offering each Property Owner a variety of planning options to meet their Budget requirement.
