The Tiny Life

Found this great Tiny House of 400 Square Feet.  It was once slated to be demolished but Reclaimed Space, a company that deal exclusively in reclaimed construction, saw its potential.  I still can’t get over how gorgeous these floors and the colors and materials all mix so well.

It starts with where we get our materials. By reclaiming wood  and metal from old barn and homes we are able to preserve their embodied energy; the energy required to cultivate and  mill or form all this wood and metal. It preserves landfill  space and relieves us all of unsightly and potentially  dangerous old structures.

Preserving the embodied energy of these materials prevents the carbon emissions from acquiring and using virgin material. And by prefabricating our homes we drastically reduce the emissions from the constant trips required by a site-built home. Building in our quality controlled production facility we are able to reduce the amount of construction waste of each home by 95%.

Better design means more efficient use of space. With open and inviting floor plans our homes are more efficient and offer greater utility. Our abilitye to build smaller spacious spaces, use less materials and offer homes with smaller physical and figurative footprints. Additionally, Reclaimed Space are built modularly, which offer a wide array of configuration and possibilites, even the ability for future adaptive additions. Should you want to move or add to your home, your changing   are considered in the original design, which preventing material waste and saves time and money.
