so – as it turns out, the owner/builder of my awesome tiny home has recently begun a new project for another soon-to-be tiny house dweller seeking a life less ordinary. of course, i asked if i could fotograph the process {and thank goodness my new “neighbour” is totally cool with that}.
i’ll do my best to update as time goes on… thankfully when i saw the big trailer pull up with this old unit on it, i was home and had free time, and i immediately ran to grab a camera.
this platform will be cut in half… and although the new tiny house {which we are referring to as “TH2”} will be half the size of this, it will still be twice the size of my home… so approximately 300-400 square feet.
i had never really fotographed the decay of a building before… and i gotta say, i kinda loved it. i can’t really explain why – but some of these images are so interesting to me… maybe the contrast of colour and exposed walls or floors… i don’t know. but there is something about “urban decay” i’ve always been somehow attracted to as an artist.
here are some recent fotos of the project from the beginning…

DAY ONE – deconstruction
oh, hi.
plenty of material was recycled – yay!

DAY TWO – deconstruction
stay tuned next week for pictures of the beginning of the actual construction!
I love his idea to transform an existing, trashy trailer into a treasured tiny home! You know I’ll want to watch the process, and it’ll be easier via your blog. Although, if I can watch too, please let me know.
Wanna meet up Thursday at our new favorite place?

It will be interesting to follow the process! And I too find urban decay interesting…found plenty of it in Detroit on a recent trip and really enjoyed photographing their changing urban landscape.

Obviously I love these posts and am loving our architectural connection 🙂 check out Gordon Mata-Clark if you’re not already familiar with his artistic deconstruction of buildings. I designed a house around his art once. Cool stuff indeed. Xxoo
