Housing types in Alaska are diverse in both character and location. They range from large scale housing projects, to individual homes, to developments in unlikely terrain. The Alaskan people are creative in both building techniques and locations in small scale operation, but lack these types of applications when moving into larger developments. The efficiency of large-scale housing developments for seasonal use is currently underutilized mostly because of the unfavorable living conditions they provide. Larger scale developments are not only more efficient in extreme climates, but would also be
much easier to maintain on a seasonal basis.
