In the process of working with a client who is dedicated to sustainable living, I discovered a really cool company in Austin, TX. These folks really know how to walk the talk. Their homes are built and then hauled to the site ready to be occupied. They are constructed from reclaimed materials.
The materials used are from deconstructed homes and would otherwise wind up in landfills. The utilize passive solar design, great insulation and thoughtful touches like single pitch roofs which makes collecting rain water much simpler. These are designed to be small spaces so they can be relocated but I can't imagine any reason tat you could not build a larger unit or join two or more together if you needed a larger home.
Here is athe link to their website. · Reclaimed space
Deb,
Way cool. It's encouraging to see things like this happening.
I've heard so many great things about Austin. It really does seem like a blue city in a red state!!
Thanks for sharing with a fellow Eco-Broker
Great concept. We need to be doing more of this nationwide. The possibilities would be endless.
Great use of recycled materials to build new houses instead of ending up in the trash. . thanks for sharing
Sounds cool! Oh, I see you have photos on the link. Very cool looking and I love the modern furniture.
