His project began as a workshed but through a series of "happy accidents" the structure gradually evolved into a full-fledged house.

It's a way of life that encourages us to be kinder to ourselves, to take pleasure in the modest, the mundane and the familiar. It is a celebration of the everyday, of sensual experiences rather than things.
