Recession Special: Home & Workplace in Ten Feet by Forty Size: 400 sq. ft.Location: East Village, New York CityArchitect: Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture Storage, restraint, and efficiency were key in carving this bachelor’s studio in the East Village into a live-work sculpture for a grown-up. Living and working in just under 500 square feet, Michael Pozner, Head of Retail Development for American Apparel (which is based in LA), had been pushing the limits of what his apartment, in its current configuration, would accommodate. The solution was ultimately about exploiting every opportunity for storage, and then combining those spaces and the kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping loft into an intricately sculpted wood-paneled central service core. The before shot. Michael is always working on several projects at once. The apartment was previously a plain sheetrock box with objects added into it, the new built-in millwork reads as a wall which has been subtracted from, in order to create space for the TV, desk and credenza.

Tiny Houses | Steeltown Anthem This home is located in Canal Winchester, Ohio for $27,000 There is something fascinating to me when it comes to living in a tiny home, cabin or trailer. Sometimes I daydream of owning a small home in New England and living in a more secluded area when i’m older. I might get bored and have to venture into the city from time to time but the thought of being somewhere quiet and peaceful seems exciting to me at this point. I came across this great site via Design Milk called Tiny House Listings where it has different types of small homes for sell or for rent.

House Construction - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks Punch list[edit] Contractor and Home Owner "To Do" List Building Orientation[edit] Grading, Terra-planing and Site Preparation[edit] The site you are building on should be flat, with no lumps or hillocks. to level, you could hire a bulldozer and go over the land with the blade close to the ground to remove all lumps or hillocks. If the plot is on a severe incline then lay stilts out so that you can lay out a floor level on top of them. At times ground filling has to be done to raise ground to the required level. Foundation Construction[edit] An integral part of home building as the structure will depend on it for load-bearing and to survive the environment. In most construction, concrete is used as foundation. The most typical foundation is made up of a footing which is the portion of the steel reinforced concrete that bears on the undisturbed soil. A foundation wall is general applied over the footing to above grade. The foundation is the most critical part of any structure. Basement[edit]
Tumbleweed Tiny House Blog | An Antique Tiny House on Wheels, From 1929 Tumbleweed Tiny Houses has received word that we’re not quite the first house on wheels. Today we learned about Charles Miller, who built and parked his very own Model-T home in Odgen, UT. This 1929 cottage-to-go is a stunner! Model T Motor Home built in Ogden, Utah (www.theoldmotor.com) In this classic farm cottage, we appreciate the roof line, finished porch, well-proportioned front door and over-sized windows. While Miller’s cottage looks terrific, it might not be ready to withstand the rigors of travel. Away from home, the lack of amenities would be noticed. Yet we can overlook construction matters and appreciate this stylish house on wheels. [Special thanks to David Greenlees and The Old Motor.] Your Inspiring Tiny Thanksgiving Ideas It’s the day before Thanksgiving. Gourds set the mood (flickr/nickshadel) Tumbleweed Houses recently posed these questions to Facebook visitors and discovered how you would celebrate in a cute little place. Enjoy,
