I love this idea – it reminds me of Texas architect Brad Kittel’s Tiny Texas Houses. In fact I’d venture to say Brad’s been doing this far longer than this guy – but oh well Yahoo didn’t come to Texas.
But notice these are MEN designing these houses – I seriously doubt many women would buy into this. Don’t believe me? Go to an airport, see how men pack versus women. One backback vs two suitcases and two carry on’s and that’s only because “they” won’t let us bring three carry on’s on board.
Anyway, usually when I’m at home I resign myself to one space. Kind of like a dog in its kennel. Yes I just compared myself to a dog, stop before you get to the B word why don’t ya. After dinner and a bath I tend to just hang out in my room. I don’t know why, it’s my happy spot. It’s comfy and everything I need is right there. So the idea of living in a tiny house actually really appeals to me.
I’m fairly certain I could do it. It’s large spaces that cause us to accumalate more crap right? I need a chair to fill that space, and a painting to fill that whole…I need some candles for that bare shelf and on and on and on. Next thing you know you are loaded down with a bunch of “stuff” you don’t need.
It baffles me how many friends and clients will shop houses based on how much stuff they have. Not location or quality of home first, but space – they need loads of space.
The more I think on this the more I like it, the wheels are spinning.
