“Built by a group of students at the Yestermorrow Design/Build School, this tiny home features salvaged pipeline lighting, a rot resistant multi-purpose bathroom, a charred cedar board exterior and a heating-compost composed of hay, sawdust and manure all designed to solve issues of space and plumbing.”
I wonder how a mechanical designer would size the straw/compost pile for a house…I’d sure have to pare back my belongings to fit in there… with 3 kids and a dog.
