tiny house


I recently purchased Tiny Houses by Mimi Zeiger hoping to get some inspiration for an out-building that we could put up in the future (way out in the future) that would be small enough to NOT require a permit. To my surprise, included was a project I came across several years ago by Stuttgart architects FNP Architekten. 
It is the renovation of a pigsty for a showroom and it's name S(ch)austall depicts the humorous relationship between these two uses: saustall = pigsty; schaustall = showroom.
To deal with the crumbling 18th century structure, the architects created a "house within a house", a wood container that fit within the old stone walls but without touching them.
