The Backyard House: Built From Recycled Barnboards


 





The TreeHugger aesthetic tends to be crisp and modern, but there is something so charming about Megan Lea's . The certified sustainable building advisor has created what she calls a "beautiful, useful, artful, and comfortable space while minimizing environmental compromise."





It is built from recycled barnboard with copper roofing, and is inspired by, among other things,  from 1931, itself a test bed of building and design





The wood stove keeps it cozy and "makes it a year round backyard destination".






The stair up to a comfortable loft. Rise over Run, the name of the designer's firm, is a reference to stair design, how we measure the steepness of stairs.






It is really hard to take good photographs in such a small space; credit is due to photographer for making this look so good. The designer also credits design/builderquartewnty  with the construction.





Nice lighting details too, recycling some crazy thing on wheels.
