Time to throw in a mention for the homes of Lloyd Kahn. https://www.shelterpub.com/ https://www.shelterpub.com/
There's plenty to discuss about houses (if you've got time on your hands), but give me a pretty good home. Green? Where I grew up you could drive around in the woods and see old abandoned log houses turning back into land and a few rocks, all on their own. A worthy goal to work towards.

- trgn 4y agoHe's great. Sidetracking a little, I wish someone(s) could develop a complementary vision for the urban context. This escape to the woods ethos does not scale. Yet, it's the only one that - at least in my impression - has crystalized in some truly homely aspirational bitesize aesthetics, that seems in reach, if only one would just commit. The closest thing I can think of was maybe "the loft", you know, think 80s cool. But they kinda suck in hindsight. The townhouse maybe, but so dependent on if the actual surroundings are tolerable, a little too large to have broad demographic appeal. Maybe the shotgun. They definitely have that cutesy thing going. Can be spacious, small, simple layouts, lot's of room for craftmanship... Just spitballing now.

- trgn 4y agoActually really true. They do seem to have a ton of momentum. Can really capture the imagination if well done.
