We listened to Kathleen Dunn on Wisconsin Public Radio yesterday. She was interviewing a Japanese architect who specializes in 'tiny houses'. (Search that on the net.)
The Japanese are known for living in small and efficient dwellings, historically, due to the lack of space for the population and their love of simplicity.
During the broadcast a man from Bayfield WI called in to tell of the award-winning Edge House near him, which caused us to look up this little dwelling.
