With our world getting more crowded, polluted and the environmental cost of development getting higher, it is time to simplify and think smaller, smarter, and also healthier.
One option is to downsize while also improving the quality of our dwellings.
The idea behind my small movable houses is to provide the flexibility of location (like a travel trailer or mobile home) while also providing comfortable, solid, well crafted, healthy and very energy efficient living
environment.
Each house is custom designed and build in my shop near Athens, Ohio, made with all natural materials
with high standard of craftsmanship (think boat interiors) and attention to energy efficiency in both envelope performance and power consumption.
Sizes can vary from a very portable 8'x12'(that can be permanently mounted on a trailer for frequent moving) to a very comfortable 15'x26' one bedroom home with full amenities and lots of storage.
Any combination of on or off grid technologies is possible, from all electric full hookup setup (that can
be mounted on a foundation or basement) to completely self sufficient off grid models with solar electric,
composting toilets and water storage.
Another approach is to see the unit as a nucleus for a larger house,designed and built with additions in mind.
Prices can start from as low as $5,000 for a very basic 8'x12' to over $30,000 for a fully equipped 15'x26.
Being that each house is custom designed and built to order, endless combinations of features are possible.
This is a new venture for me, so any suggestions or questions are welcome.
