The result has been a careful deliberation and design process, culminating in a small house that stands in stark contrast to the large and inefficient new homes of today.

We are experiencing unheard-of wealth and prosperity (though admittedly often at the expense of the environment and poorer regions of the world). However, inevitably, like a child whose every desire is fulfilled, we are growing dependent on a world that offers us everything – no skills required.
