Summer home plan lets living begin before ground breaks
The B-15 vacation house by Architect Lester Cohen uses a house trailer as a service core allowing initial living space in stage one. A trailer port becomes a permanent kitchen bath and extra bedroom later, reducing early costs and letting families supervise construction on site. The 768 sq ft first stage expands to 1 152 sq ft with trailer port conversion, featuring a 23 by 21 ft living room with a cathedral ceiling and three bedrooms in final form.
