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.
