Rural Architecture

This picture was sent to me with the title “Redneck Mansion.”  I know that I was supposed to laugh at it but I have to say that I really like it. Architects are always discussing the experience of a space. The experience here looks like a jungle Jim/ tree house sort of thing with a bit of Hopi cliff dwelling thrown in.

And it fits in with the current conversation of modularity and adaptive reuse quite nicely.

Mostly, though, what I like the is that it is organic to the site and appears organic in its own growth. Theoretically, somebody could start with just two or three parts and keep adding containers and trailers as the family,  even a whole village, expanded.
