The goal of this project was to experiment
with modular design. The components of this house are 14
feet wide and can be trucked on the highway. We tried to
build with enough quality to justify continual expansion
and improvement, thus reversing the inevitable depreciation
of most housing designed to be trucked. The “double
high” arrangement instead of the usual “double
wide”, allows for these additions through a cascade
of roofs which are not possible on a low eaved house. The
interior of the house is designed as would be a boat interior.
Efficient use of space is required in a small house.Since
the house is one room wide, by rotating or mirror-imaging
the plan, it is suitable to virtually any site. Custom design
is focused on the elements which join the house to the site,
such as porches, decks, out buildings and barns
