How one Architect made 24 rooms with 300 sq feet

Size Doesn’t Matter when it comes to form and function

With the average American home size on the decrease and efficient building technology becoming more mainstream,  this is a wonderful example of how much can be done with little.   

I’ve been following the Tiny House Blog as well as the US Solar Decathalon for a while now and think they are excellent examples of emergent building technology here in the US.  

It will be interesting to see more of these types of homes entering the market and how they are received.

Anna Altic – Village Real Estate Services. I’ve called Nashville home for the last 15 years and have been practicing (practice being the key word here) real estate for just over 6 years. In the fall of 2007, I went to a local German Festival that had a home tour, including a LEED certified property, and I instantly became enamored with the idea of eco friendly living (ok, so I’d had a little beer and the dual flush toilet rocked my world). I have since devoted much of my time and energies in to studying and espousing the benefits of better building technology within our local residential market and my proudest accomplishment thus far has been successfully leading the initiative to get over 25 green features added to our MLS search fields.
