hello -
The New York Times is doing a story about homes that being built to withstand extremes in weather, including floods, hurricanes, perhaps even tsunamis. They're searching for homes that have been built in the last two years and have not been published or presented elsewhere and in which the home owner is willing to be photographed and interviewed.
They also need to see scouting shots of the home. These do not need to be professional quality and are not for publication - if the project works for us we will assign our own photographers. They need an exterior shot of the home as well as a few interior shots. (Please do not over six J Pegs per project.) The architects should include a few sentences about the cost of the home, location, and why the owners wanted a flood proof house.
Contact the reporter, Joyce Wadler, directly at jwadler@nytimes.com
The deadline for submitting info is Friday, Jan. 13th.
