Artist Craig Pleasants was way ahead of the tiny housing trend. He designed and built his first tiny house, called the Octagonal Living Unit, in 1981 using salvaged and found materials and lived in it for three years. The house, which is as much a piece of art as it is a home, stirred great interest, so Craig developed an affordable kit for a 450-square-foot highly energy-efficient house that four people can put together in a day.
The Sculptor House kit consists of the pre-finished high tech insulated panels for the roof as well as the walls, roof beams, siding material, low-energy doors and windows, roofing material, and the fasteners necessary to put the house together. There is no waste – everything is pre-cut and fits together perfectly. As it has been designed by an artist, the house is beautiful both inside and out, full of light, and appears much larger due to both the lack of 90-degree corners and the cathedral ceiling in one half of the house.
