In the wabi-sabi tradition,
think for the moment. All you need is a clearing, perhaps a
shade tree, and a place to sit. A tiny house should evolve slowly
over years of changing needs. Designing it begins with a place
to sit and think about a window or door, then a wall and a roof.
Nothing permanent, nothing perfect, because nothing is finished.
