Urban Europeans have a tradition of "garden houses" that gradually expanded from tool sheds. These sheds have been formalized and can now be purchased as this Waldon inspired and named model from Moormann in Germany. (On display in Cologne at Design Week.) Sleeping space is in the loft space with a skylight to the stars. The New York Times "thinks small" with a story with great information about the mini-house movement in the US. (Don't know how long the link will be good.) The traditional style Katrina Cottage, built by Cusato Cottages LLC and offered by Lowe's, is generating interest beyond just the New Orleans area. For fabulous contemporary mini's, weeHouses offers a versatile collection of "shoebox" stacking units.
Forget timeshares! For an instant vacation house, drive one of these units up to your own piece of Waldon, no matter where it is, and simply hook it up to utilities.
