Exterior Walls
30% of the cottage utilizes recycled,
refurbished, and salvaged building
materials. For example, the dark brown siding is made of old fenceboards that were cleaned and stained.
Its four hundred square feet are easy to clean, inexpensive to heat and cool, and feels cozy. It is designed to be lived in, not impress.
The exterior walls are ten feet tall; the cathedral ceiling is seventeen feet tall. A feeling of spaciousness is achieved.
Have a staggered stud scheme which allows for very efficient heating and cooling
The Cottage is designed for ease of construction. Much of it can be built by non-professionals
It fits in many places where 'typical' houses do not or can not. Small pieces of land can fit a JRC (on less than two parking spaces)
