HALF-TREE HOUSE: BEAVER BROOK COLONY - www.jacobschang.com

Daily Mail: 11th October 2015 This 360 sf. structure is located on a remote 60 acre, privately owned second-growth forest in Sullivan County, NY. It is sited on a steep, isolated area of the property with no vehicular access, no piped water and no electricity. From the outset, the project outlined two formidable directives: to design a structure that can be constructed by amateur weekend builders & to consider a limited construction budget.

The topography presented a difficult challenge. Engineered wood beams form the perimeter with standard nominal lumber for all intermediate framing. Exterior and interior boards were milled and kiln-dried from the Eastern Pines felled on the property. Photography: Noah Kalina. Wikkelhouse - A HOUSE FOR YOU. Walden.

Since Frank Lloyd Wright began building Taliesin West- his winter home and school in the desert-, students have been living in canvas tents as an alternative dorm.

It was direct study of nature and the land, both important elements of Wright’s organic architecture. Today the Shelter Program has evolved and students can design and build more complicated structures (they’re given a $1000 stipend and encouraged to raise more), but the small shelters continue to be off-grid, unplumbed and often without walls. This direct contact with the desert helps students confront just what is needed to provide shelter. “To me an architect is a man who,” wrote Wright in his autobiography, “knows the secrets of nature and studies them, is informed by them and comes out stronger with knowledge.”

Students become full-time residents on both campuses, year-round, during their studies. Living QuartersMost students live in modest rooms on campuses. Menthé charpentier indépendantiste.

Tiny House In The Outback

The country is the size of the US, with a population well under 25 million, where 80% of that population lives within 50 miles of the coast, this means that the interior of the continent is very very empty. There is a strong sense of quasi cowboy feel to being in the outback, where I lived while I was there.

This house not only captures that sense of the rough and tumble of the bush, but is sustainable too. In an odd way this prefab structure has a turret feel, almost medieval. This prefabricated structure is sited in an isolated mountainous of Australia. From: Casey Brown Architecture Water catchment system.
