Hello All!
This blog is devoted to the web of ideas and inquiry that I am encountering in FIT's new Sustainable Interior Environments program.
I would be happy to hear from you.

Little House on the Prairie, or the Beach, or the Mountain, or… .
Here is a video tour of a house that seems to embody sustainability while mirroring the spirited resourcefulness of its owner/builder. I may never make the choice to live exactly this way, but his design has inspired me to rethink
how I occupy space.
Perhaps an "aspirational home" does not have to be a larger one. An article in US News and World Report (April 2011) shows super-sized homes becoming less popular for economic reasons. Sadly, environmental considerations are not mentioned in the article.
What a great little house! It reminds me of a show at the MoMa I had seen in 2008 called :Home Delivery: Fabricating the modern dwelling"
http://www.momahomedelivery.org/ check the video.
On another note: It looks just like my last apartment in SoHo! A lot of people in NYC (well, at least in Manhattan) actually live with that much space...
This little home is so interesting. It definatelly is for one person. I would like to maybe spend a weekend in a little house like this to wee how I would feel in this space. Would I be cozy or cramped. I think its great and so nice that it works for the owner.
