Non traditional house design

That's cool, but I wonder what they do for drainage though.

pipes to spread out the water and let it filter down to water table. well for drinkable water.

the real question is what to do with waste water. you don't want it going down to your water table untreated...and you would have to pump it up to get rid of it...

And another, in even worse condition

I've been inside that one. If the graffiti is a reliable source on these things, Angie gave up her virginity to Jason therein. I tend to believe it because it appears that Angie was the artist.

Anyway, if the OP needs more room, the Atlas D three banger might serve or, if the OP envisions a large family in his future, the Atlas D six banger is a worthy answer.

Had seen that before, if I had freakish amounts of disposable income, I would LOVE something like that as a project.

That's quite interesting but not something I've seen personally. Skin cancer and leathered skin on the other hand, rampant almost daily examples.

I only need a moderate amount of space. My current square footage is more than I use (~2900).
