Auburn Student here. The loft house was one of 4 20k houses for the 07-08 year. Check out the others, they are all pretty kick-ass.

A “loft house”? The loft is 1, one(!) bedroom which isnt really a bedroom. The “stair” is a steep ladder which would probably kill you within a short time of living there. Why the double height space when it clearly does not add any form of quality to the house at all and it steels usable floor area? This project sucks and should never have been buildt!

Four students designed & constructed this house, which is now a home, in one year with $10,000. Pictures don’t do the Loft House justice. What they lacked in funds, they made up for in detail. Must see this project & all of Rural Studio to realize the beauty of it. Sambo Mockbee is surely smiling down.

Benjamin, you are right about the context.

My point was about how fast can people judge things and comment about it, and take another call afterward without going any further.

This is why you re-commented after your first reply, because you took time to read the text, observe all the pics+drawings, appreciate the context to, in the end, make a comment that is more relevant.

Everything in life, let along architecture needs to be taken into context. If this loft house was built in a rich suburb in California or something it would be ripped off and trashed, but the fact that it is A. done by student architects and B. built for communities that are not so well-off, then it is fair to say this is very well done project. It has nothing to do with superficiality.

No Nurbs? I wonder who this could be? Nice work Joey and company.
