The OOTB business model allows communities the independence
to become, in effect, their own developer, avoiding the
compromises associated with developer-driven affordable
housing initiatives. OOTB farmhouses may be used in a one-at-a-time
infill strategy, or in small numbers on mid-sized lots,
sparing communities the visual and environmental trauma
associated with larger projects.
Secondly, the architectural designs themselves are meant to
help communities overcome the NIMBY opposition often faced
by affordable housing initiatives. OOTB’s farmhouses
are designed to:
-
blend
tastefully with older neighborhoods, in opposition
to the condo look of many housing projects.
-
provide
generous front porches and exterior trim,
in contrast to philosophies that seek to
maximize interior space at the expense of
exterior aesthetics.
-
our
2 and 4- family farmhouses are designed to
look like detached single-family homes, allowing
them even greater flexibility fitting in
with established, older neighborhoods.
Finally, OOTB’s ready-made
designs and attractive presentation materials
can help to create a shared vision at the outset
of a community-driven initiative, and bring
different constituencies along in the process.
