A 250 sq ft Eco-friendly house

July 3rd, 2007 Alex

In Pacifica, California, Dirk Dieter lives in a 250 sq ft house that he bought in 1999 for $101,000. I could not imagine doing that and I am sure many people will agree with me. Dirk’s girlfriend Yvonne, feels the same way.The industrial and exhibit designer has his own design furniture company at www.verb2.com based on two principles, putting people first, and making products that can be environmentally conscious and can last forever. He has recently added a garage but has been using it for storage due to the lack of space in the house. In Dieter’s house, there are no doors that swing out as all cabinets have sliding doors. To partition space, curtains and shades are used. The laundry room is just in a nook behinda natural-fiber shade. For furniture, Dieter has folding chairs and a futon. He has an original design rolling Tower of Power for audio-video equipment and another rolling clothes tower. The house was last appraised at $375,000.
