It’s called the “Microhouse,” and it can be found in Burlington’s City Hall Park, right outside the back entrance to the Firehouse Gallery. The 10’x10’ compact house was constructed on a budget of $4,000 for materials.
The project was created by Alex Carver, Christopher North, and H. Keith Wagner. Carver and North are partners in Northern Timbers Construction in Ripton, Vermont. Wagner is a Vermont landscape architect and metal artist.
Curious about the Microhouse's construction? Want to learn more about alternatives to large “trophy houses” or “McMansions”? You can learn more by attending a lecture given by the three artists, to be held at the Firehouse Gallery this Tuesday (October 13th) starting at 7pm. An informal reception will follow.
If you haven’t seen the Microhouse yet, it’ll be on display through the run of Human = Landscape at the Firehouse Gallery. But don’t wait too long – there are two weeks to go! The last day to see the Human = Landscape exhibit is Saturday, October 24th.
