more tiny houses

Published by dibocc at 2:10 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Ok, yesterday’s post really left me wondering about small houses and whether or not that’s really an option. While the Tumbleweed houses look cute, I’m not sure they are up to code for city living (they all look like they’ve been set up on the countryside, or at least in the outskirts of town). So I did some researching and I ran into some great information about the Penguin House, designed by Japanese architect Yasuhiro Yamashita of Atelier Tekuto, in Tokyo.

The house is the size of a two-car garage, which may seem huge compared to the house you saw yesterday, but that’s only because this one is three-stories high. It’s also especially designed for urban living. And I love it.

    Yeah, that was my question as well… the land. But then I thought that LA can’t be more expensive than Tokyo, right?
