Four couples who had been best friends for 20 years decided they were going to trump living in the same town. No way were they going to let the business of life keep them from enjoying that special connection that they’d grown to love. So they decided to literally create their own “Bestie Row.”

They all were fans of the tiny house movement, and decided to build their own little compound based around that idea. Because when you can say, “We’re going to be grey-haired friends,” you know you’ve found a bond that can only strengthen. They employed the assistance of architect Matt Garcia to make their dream come true. Via Alexander Stross They purchased land along the Llano River, just outside of Austin, Texas.

Raumhochrosen's woodland cabin in Austria provides respite for life coach

Tom's Hut is located in a patch of woodland in Austria's Wienerwald municipality, where it provides its owner respite from his busy urban life. Raumhochrosen prefabricated the angular, timber structure offsite before slotting it into its sloping, tree-covered plot. "If a mental coach is also an Austrian songwriter, living his life between extremes, he needs a woodland wilderness hut as a balance to his life in the middle of the town," said the architects. "This simple house refers intensively to its environment, follows the contour of a previous, decaying building and was really drafted around a man and his passions. " Vertical lengths of timber clad the walls of the hut, while metal sheeting covers its mono-pitched roof and chimney. Photography is by Albrecht Imanuel Schnabel. Wikkelhouse - A HOUSE FOR YOU.
