back to the box

There's no shortage of box houses in Austin, and it just so happens that the first one I obsessed over was featured in the October issue of Dwell magazine. Located on a quirky street running through the middle of what quickly became my "favorite neighborhood," I was psyched to see the house in print and learn more about its construction. But I have to admit that I was a little disappointed when I learned that the homeowners plan to live there forever--so much for that dream. At least I can look to it for inspiration when I some day build a sustainable box of my own. That dream is still out there.
