MACKIE HOUSE

We were asked to design and build this house for $50,000 (1988) including everything but the land. We utilized all the suitable used materials that we could find. The building form is created with recycled steel trusses that span the interior and in a simple rotation of the plan create alcoves, lofts and niches. The kitchen was designed using recycled metal cabinets and the outside skin is recycled siding and stone. We assembled it using industrial prefabrication techniques to save time. It is a unique alternative to a prefabricated home and we did it for as much as some double-wides cost.
