Below is a quick blurb from TreeHugger about a tiny prefab in the woods. The design is beautiful…
There are few inventions more elegant than a wood strip canoe; they are light, fast and flexible. Martin Liefhebber of Breathe Architects, who has been doing green design since before the term was invented, was inspired by the lean elegance of the canoe in his design for the new aerieLOFT, premiering at the Green Living Show…
It is a minimalist structure, built like a canoe with an economy of means but a generosity of ends. Martin says:
“Scarcity is not because we don’t have enough. It has come about because of the way we consume. We make design decisions which perpetuate the unsustainable practices, which deplete and abuse the planet’s resources.”
