Initial Sketch

I'm starting to develop my initial sketch into construction drawings. This is intended to be a smaller structure to test out all the natural building techniques I'll implement and work out any kinks. (See the 'Design' page of my dumbhome.com website for more info on those.)

In the short term, it will be a full-time residence of 450 gross square feet, with a 150 sf three-season porch. Once I'm ready to build my full-size house on the lot (with garage/workshop), this cottage can become a home office, guest house, or a rental unit. It would make a lot of sense for potential clients stay in a Dumb Home to experience a natural building so they can see how they feel about it.
