I stumbled upon the work of Michael Jantzen today while checking out the "Tiny House Design" site and was immediately struck by the design for his "Homestead House". I'd been looking at homes built around corrugated steel and this one grabbed me with its homestead ranch house layout.Inspired by my experimental design work in the late 1960s as an undergraduate at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, I decided to re-examine the potential use of certain readily available agricultural building components in the creation of alternative housing systems. The Homestead House is a conceptual design for alternative housing that explores the potential use of a commercially available steel, prefabricated, modular, high strength, low cost, arch building system normally used for agricultural purposes.
Jantzen describes himself as an artist who's preferred medium is architecture. I like it!
