  A few years ago, John Carricarte was in Vail, Colo., customizing hoity-toity housing for the well-heeled.Now, he's catering more to the hoi polloi--the general population--as vice president of design and product development for Patriot Homes Inc., a housing manufacturer in Elkhart, Ind.
  
  Carricarte made the switch because he senses a real yen for high design in prefab.
  
  "The image, I think, is definitely starting to turn in the industry because the industry is starting to react to what the market is actually looking for," Carricarte says.
  
  Awakened interest
  ...
  Carricarte says manufactured houses have about 20% more lumber in them than site-built structures.
  
  "These things have to travel to the site, and in many cases they'll reach hurricane winds before they'll ever get there, being pulled by a carrier," Carricarte says.
  ...
  Carricarte advises making sure the manufacturer offers all the options, flexibility, insurance, and warranties you need.
  ...
  Carricarte says the market potential he imagined when he was designing high-end homes in Vail remains mostly on the drawing board.
  
  "What I saw or would like to see is still years out," Carricarte says.
  
  In some cases, overcoming the stigma of manufactured housing has meant disavowing it.

Ft. 1 bedroom 1 bath was designed by Geoffrey Mouen and we hope to have the prototype ready in January."The Katrina cottage has been designed to be expanded to the rear or left side and has 9' ceilings and sleeps 4 in bunks or 2 in twin beds."We feel this is a great niche, and we can provide a highly detailed home for around $45.00 per Sq. Ft.," says Carricarte."If you look and see what the big box stores are selling their 'do it yourself' Katrina Cottage kit for, you will start to see how a modular Cottage is a far better solution to the issues we all see in the Gulf Coast region."If you would like more information on the Katrina Cottage, contact John Carricarte at 574-825-9999.
