A most intriguing ArtPrize entry was this small livable dwelling constructed with salvaged materials.
Here's the artist's information:
Brent Ahmicasaube embraces his Native culture by creating functional art using salvaged materials. His father,an artist, taught Brent the trade of skilled carpentry while beautifying several 'fixer uppers' in his youth. Brent studied Fine Art at Michigan State University and Lansing Community College. For almost a decade Brent has been restoring historical homes and commercial buildings (Heritage Craftsmen). He currently lives in Grand Rapids with his wife and son in the home he restored and renovated (containing salvaged pieces of over 100 homes).
And more pictures of this house exhibited at the Douglas J. Aveda Institute in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Note the bowed out wall on the sides.
How about those hand rails? and risers?
It's a 500 square foot one-room charmer with a sleeping loft.
I could see it as a backyard studio ... or a wonderful guest house.
