Tiny Houses

This book is cooool.  I am checking it out of the library the next time I am in there...

Been talking to Josh Kendagor about all this and he was telling me about tiny houses and how he wants one in America and one in Kenya... And I think there is a thing called tiny houses, where they either build it for you, help you, or whatevs.. Then I came across this book.  Pretty sweet.

I like the idea that our homes would pretty much be like a room, then everything else is community.
Any who, if you see this at your library catch a look inside!

Saw this place a while ago, its a wilderness resort.

Twig

Here is another idea from scrap hacker, these could be like our "address" or path markers .. Depending on how our village works, i just thought this would be cool if everyone was identified by the twig or something.. maybe this only make sense in my head but I am starting to think we should definitely find land with trees, and maybe a pool of natural water :)

Idea for Common Book Area aka Library

Maybe if our village wants to put all of our books in one spot and have a sharing library, we could build a spot (or a library tree house!) around some trees and use the trees for shelving!  Fun and natural.

Walls and Doors

I saw this and it reminded me that I have always wanted trap doors and hide outs.  What if there was a door wall, and one of these opened into a secret room.. I WANT IT!

Underground

I was doing some searching for these converted bunkers when I found this... Holy amazing.
Tons of more amazing photos here :

The website itself, although perhaps a bit 'modern' and upscale for our tastes, has lots of cool pictures for homes and things.

Stone Home

Saw this on some random tumblr, and was like "UM YES!"

Random Pictures

These arent quite exactly TOTALLY right for our little town, but theres some ideas I like.

Tree houses... um yes.

Using trees as part of the architecture, so crucial. This door is amazing.

Some sort of awesome main hall, this could be our workshop or community center, cafeteria. Just a central place for people to gather in numbers. Tons of couches and tables... This could also play into the hostel idea.

Towers are rad. We should have one. It could be used as a lookout, or an amazing place to have your first kiss!

Off my Rocker!

While taking a drive through some Missouri Country with Terry I saw a big rocking chair.. and I wanted to make one.  Pickles Gap should definitely have a giant rocking chair.  I would sit there.

Barn Hostel

  For our visitors, friends, family.  I thought it would be pretty sweet if we had a barn hostel!  Not sure why I am stuck on this one.. it just popped into my head.  But here are some pics/ ideas. Whatever right!
