[...] This Loft House design was created in 2007 / 2008 by a team of student architects-to-be including Ryan Stephenson, Joey Fante, Kait Caldwell, Aimee O’Carroll, as part of a design-build project called Rural Studio, run by Auburn University. Only students could ever make their dollars stretch so far – kudos kids! With a budget of just $20,000, this innovative team designed a modern loft residence with $10,000 allotted for materials and the remaining $10,000 for labor costs. This compact house design is small but sweet, and in keeping with the main goal of the project, it’s highly functional and economical to the max. Designed on a hill surrounded by forest, the slope house plan really takes a bare-bones approach to architecture. The exterior of this compact cottage is simple, while the interior is both straightforward and efficient, with a loft layout that maximizes every inch of living space.

I really like the loft home design.Being on a limited budget and wanting to build a loft house of my own, I’d highly consider this model, with solar panels and capacitor banks with dc to ac power inverters to power the home off the grid. My budget will be 25,000.

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.
