We want to welcome all who have joined the Architecture and Interior Design community.
This “open to the great outdoors” concept would work well by connecting several detached parts of a home, that might include a detached guest cottage, and a detached home office, or detached studio for painting, arts and crafts, or a recording studio. It’s up to you! Think it up and Texas Tiny Homes can design and build it for you.

ANTOINE is a tribute to the alpine experience and to the writer. The small wooden cabin, big enough for the life of one man, is hidden inside a projected concrete rock. Referring to the long lasting Swiss tradition of hidden bunkers, the project integrates the highly urbanised landscape of the Alps. Already described by the French philosopher Paul Virilio in 1975, military architecture conducted by principles of camouflage has, for long, fascinated the architects.
ANTOINE creates an alpine shelter, a precarious «Existenzminimum» somewhat subversive in its use where one can freely enter and hide. It contains the very basic architectural elements – fire place, bed, table, stool, window – but demands to the visitor some risk taking as the rock hangs literally on the rock fall field.

It’s so tough the front just reads “MAN.”
When picking up a vehicle that looks like it belongs in an ominous government convoy in a disaster movie, you’d assume that you’d have to sacrifice comfort and convenience in the name of sheer badassery. Turns out, you can really have it all. Action Mobil’s Global XRS 7200 might look like it could drive through a brick wall and survive the apocalypse, but once you open the doors, you’ll feel right at home.

Make fun of Portland all you want, but few American cities (probably none) are showing more creativity with their zoning in order to provide affordable, transit friendly housing options. Their liberal policy about setting up tiny houses in backyards as ADUs is… #portland #tinyhouses
