One of the first homes completed for Make It Right (MIR), a not-for-profit foundation launched by Brad Pitt and Hollywood producer Steve Bing with $10 million of their own money, is a modular design by Los Angeles-based architect Nora Gordon. With her firm Graft, the architect designed a compact home that meets the target cost of $150,000. The prefabricated home, constructed in a North Carolina factory, will be donated to a displaced family in New Orleans. It sits on pillars to protect against future tropical storm flooding or damage.
