A lot of love and creativity went into building this home, which has been published in architecture magazines around the world. It feels like a cabin "away from it all" despite its urban location blocks from Downtown & SHSU. The home was built as a gift for a beloved local artist who blessed Huntsville & Houston with festive outdoor murals for many years. The home was designed to show that small spaces can be beautiful & that honoring nature honors all of us. It was built largely of salvaged & recycled materials, and was designed to take advantage of the sun & wind for lighting, heating, and cooling. Rather than remove a large tree that sat in the home site, the home embraced the tree with a giant deck--making it feel like a tree house. The structure & systems are in good condition, but the interior needs a lot of finish work since it was stripped in preparation for creating a coffee shop. Given its character, location, and zoning, the home is perfect for a small business or Airbnb.
