The Globe and Mail is Catching On

Jeff pointed out this article in the Globe, discussing the Tiny Home trend. From the article:

"Like a growing number of people, the couple have decided that a modest house is better for their quality of life than a mansion in the burbs. On the extreme end of the trend are people who live in minuscule houses, sometimes not much bigger than a typical suburban bathroom. Motivated by environmental concerns, convenience and tight finances, they are saying goodbye to 1990s-style monster homes."

It's really good to see the press on this trend continuing. I'm reassured that this isn't just a fad, it's a trend in how people will live their lives in the coming decade.

Project updates!

How time flies!

We're at the halfway point in the Living Density Exhibition and forum, and its only getting better!

What else have we been up to?
-we entered the formshift competition
-Rachel attended the Tumbleweed Tiny House workshop with Jay Shafer, and learned an enormous amount about the details of building and designing a tiny home
-Scott attended the Living Density Forum, and learned all about.. well- I'd like to hear it from him:)
-we held a potluck: sparsely attended, but Jay and Mik from the workshop came by. Lots of lively conversation was to be had.
-we're developing an entry for the prefab 2020 competition
-we're continually refining our design, based on input from different people and different experiences

We're at the gallery Monday Wednesday and Friday from 11 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 6 pm. There will also be an end-party, which is sure to be a blast. That's on the 22nd. We'll see you there!
