From Kent Griswold's Tiny House Blog...a community of small houses sharing green spaces and amenities. http://tinyhouseblog.com/tiny-house/ross-chapin/
Here's another similar community: http://tinyhouseblog.com/stick-built/wyers-end/ Charming houses, with a lot of thought put into them--also Ross Chapin's designs, like the first link.
Building like this, several small houses on a multi-family lot, can help meet minimum square foot requirements of some town building codes. I've heard of several places where this has been done...not sure I could have built my shed if it was intended to be inhabited (and of course it would have required plumbing, etc., if that had been the case.)
I thought the cottages were cute till I saw the pricetag. They are very expensive; out of the realm of people who could really use them! Very cute though.
ReplyDeleteYes, some seem to cost more than others. For a new, finished home at $50,000, not so awful. $100,000, not for me! I imagine location makes a lot of difference, too.
