Would love to hear if there’s any reason in particular you say that. Like have you been thinking of trying a different way of living, is your current situation untenable for some reason (financial or otherwise) or maybe you just mean it as a way of complimenting the design/build?

And regardless of the reason thank you for making a fellow HNer feel good about their side project!



Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Well, first of all it looks like what I would call aesthetic. It looks amazing, I love the amount of light that enters the house, and I think it's super important for one's happiness. I live at the ground floor of an old building in a capital city, and we get very little light. I love how it's functional, and yet small: it seems efficient and cosy. There is another thing: it makes me dream to go and live there, I can see myself reading books, doing things on my computer, and enjoy existence in the nature (the reality is that I wouldn't be able to do that, as I have family commitments, but it makes me dream of it, I hope this makes sense).


Talk about not getting back to you sooner... Sorry about that! It's feedback like yours that makes us think this will not only be a good, affordable housing solution for some folks, but could also be a straight up enjoyable way to live regardless of the necessity of less-expensive housing options. Of course the family commitments make it extremely difficult, particularly if you have children (I'd hate to judge someone who would consider it, but it really doesn't seem like an acceptable place to raise kids once they're past, say, 2 or 3 years old).

Really, sincerely, thank you again for such kind words about it.
