This project questions the need for excessive space and challenges occupants to be efficient.

Two shipping containers saddlebag a taller common space that connects local rock outcroppings to the expansive mountain ridge views.

The containers house sleeping and work functions while the center space provides entry, dining, living and a loft above.The loft deck invites easy camping as the platform bed rolls between interior and exterior.
