One of our favorite kids books is called Henry Builds a Cabin. And not just because we’ve got a penchant for the name Henry. HDT’s cabin is perfect for its inadequacies. The small rooms provide an excuse to spill out into it the landscape that surrounds the building. Love this book and its lesson to build just enough but not too much, because the space we really need is out of doors.
Precisely what drew me to the idea from the start — a simple abode with a tiny footprint keeps nature front and center and, as Also Leopold said, allows us to "live on a piece of land without spoiling it." Thanks for chiming in.
