Inhabitat

January5

Design has played a big role in making the world the unsustainable place it now is… can design be part of the solution and stop being part of the problem?

“Inhabitat.com is a weblog devoted to the future of design, tracking the innovations in technology, practices and materials that are pushing architecture and home design towards a smarter and more sustainable future.”

a tree house

January5

another one from Lauren!

Check out the Treehouse Institute of Arts and Culture

These people took the idea of building a house in a tree seriously! And they even have a treehouse institute for those who want to learn everything there is to learn about building a treehouse! Do I fancy a house in a tree?

the tiny house blog

January5

We got this link from Lauren, a lovely KP team16 who came around to visit us in Ajstrup Strand.

“The goal of the tiny house blog is to discover the different options available for a person looking to down size into a tiny house or cabin. I will be looking at different type of construction, from logs, to yurts to modern and the unusual. I will also do book reviews, look at alternate energy for heat and electricity.”

I totally share Kent Griswold’s love for tiny spaces… I don’t know what it is about them, they feel safer, more playful, cozy… and then it doesn’t take as long to clean the house…
