I plan to build my own house in Jamaica in 18 months time. It is impossible to find any plans or good ideas for smaller properties made from re-enforced concrete and other materials that not only are affordable, green, esthetic to look at and have the open plan flavour with a large covered porch. Obviously it has to withstand the hurricanes and the odd shakes and quakes. 12x8 meters (96 square meters for downstairs and the same for upstairs, 2 bed/2 bath, with open plan living/dining and kitchen area. Utility room, garage for 1 car. Also it would be nice be able to add another room or two at a later date. Any idea or information where I can find some good ideas? What about Houses in the Caribbean?

The porch in that context clearly emerged to mediate the climate.
