\nHow do you fit an architect, her partner, their two kids and a great dane into a house the size of a caravan?When architect Macy Miller embarked on a project to build her own home five years ago, she was single and living in a converted garage in downtown Boise, Idaho, the state capital. Her dream was to live efficiently, without much environmental impact, and to build a home for roughly the same cost as her annual rent ($12,000).

Miller now lives in the house with her partner, James, also an architect, their two small children and an enormous great dane.The house, built directly on top of the trailer, is what most of us would consider a tight squeeze. It has a flat roof and is clad in recycled wood. Both the front and newly extended back, which is wrapped in corrugated metal, have wooden decking steps filled with homey potted plants. The front door enters straight into a tiny living area, big enough \u2013 just \u2013 for an armchair, with a recessed television and two shelves of books. A flip-up table sits below the window \u2013 \u201cMostly in the down position,\u201d Miller says. To the right is a mezzanine bed for the couple, accessed by steps that double as open shelves. One pace to the left is a small galley kitchen, with a fridge and microwave recessed into the wall. The bathroom opposite has a full-sized shower, sink and compost loo. At the far end of the kitchen is the kids\u2019 room, formerly a covered porch, which has doubled the size of the house. Continue reading…
