That looks pretty awesome. Just hope everyone makes it around that turn.

As the author and publisher of over a dozen books on home construction, Lloyd has been grappling with the concept of home, physically and psychically, for over five decades. Situated in the financial and housing crisis, this film profiles Lloyd’s ideas on do-it-yourself construction and sustainability.

Love this guy. Gonna start looking for an empty plot of land.

Minimalist House by Shinichi Ogawa & Associates

20 October, 2010 Pete

post_5636-450x349.jpg

Called Minimalist House, the property is surrounded by four solid walls and internally divided into three strips.

It really is all you need. Wonder what it would feel like after living in it for a couple months.
