Who sees "Vesper Casa"? A Gallery of sustainably natural organic cottage ideas as examples of what could be.
Many look for the door of opportunity that will set them free from matrix of the cities. Few seem to take the time, the sacrifice of mind in distraction, to find satisfaction.
These are from over a decade ago, examples of what can be done with the 95% Pure Salvage building ethos, no imports, no toxins, healthy, energy efficient, and sustainable. They are not being built or offered so do not take this as a solicitation except to consider building in such natural ways if you can where ever you are. However, you can get great salvaged materials.
These are part of a seldom fully seen series of over 70 house styles that were created to demonstrate what is possible with hopes that others would take on the challenge of building with as many salvaged materials as possible and in sizes that make more sense for the people you are building for rather than one size fits all. Short people can have houses built for them and likewise, the 6'7" tall people for whom all doors and houses are made with 8' ceilings are not always needed, and loft bedrooms, as opposed to giant second-floor bedrooms, makes more sense.
If we build smarter, energy-efficient, self-cooling, or easily heated houses, more master suites, and fewer unused kitchens and mega-baths, the world could be a better place. Less is sometimes better, and the middle path always trumps the extremes where there is a quality control factor, longevity, and affordability.
The simple house will go up faster than some of my elaborate creations to demonstrate what is possible big and small. 67 SF to 81 SF was the smallest on the first floors, which is all I count for the size as lofts that I made could be stood up in by the end with designs I call SpaceMagic, which let you feel like it is a big house, though it is not, and even have tall people feel fine when visiting.
I hope you like the show. Just ideas to let you know, I have a library you can read for free on the TinyTexasHouses.Substack.com platform, where you can get answers about healthy living in tiny spaces. No sales of anything offered online.
