Constructing new architecture by shortcutting material flows. Another contribution from Lauren 
A practical and inspiring book about constructing new buildings with surplus materials.
Check out the superuse book.
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?
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…
Hey Rowan and Zulma,
REALLY nice to see you new years eve, hope you didn’t catch any viruses off me
My friend Søren told me about Shelter Publications and has shown me a few of their books. Their book “Shelter” is a classic, with many beautifully illustrated ways of building a home or a shelter. From many cultures. Check it out for inspiration: shelterpub
Søren has built his own very sustainable Straw Bale House: halmhus
He also owns two Mongolian Yourts and two few circus wagons. Among other interesting things. When I saw the Yourts I instantly thought of you

To live in a community where we can practice sustainable living. Where we can be selfsufficient with food, have no carbon footprint, where we can build our own house build from sustainable materials and where we can be part of a community that can support eachother with cooking, childcare, carpooling, and other shared things.
We would like to bridge the Urban and the Rural, Nature and Culture, Home and Work…
To walk our talk of sustainable living. To experiment with how a new social structure can look like, that caters for the modern persons needs, without compromising the wellbeing of our planet.
