haiku's quiddity
telling the biggest story
in the smallest space
Picture
Big living in small spaces! This cabin in Montana designed by Jeff Sheldon epitomizes small-space living in grand style. The inspiration for this cabin was a fire watch tower. Simply beautiful. 

I think tiny homes are the haiku of architecture. My wife and I live in 700 square feet. The only time it feels small is when we have more than eight guests... Then we go outside!
