A Novel Green Mansion

by Roberta Murphy

Any verbiage I add to this photo would probably be superfluous, since this chatty picture already exceeds the expected thousand words.

Hats off to someones clever recycling of mobile homes.

Not sure if the intent was green construction, but the designer certainly managed to minimize the footprint of this little mobile home park.

I also wonder about the relation of people who live here. And what about plumbing? Or high winds?

Finally, hope this upwardly mobile community isnt anywhere near the path of tornadoes.

Thank you Ronnie Sellers, fellow ANTS investor and bonsai guru in North Carolina, for the photo. He is especially fond of the red shipping container with the attached solarium.

Embarrassing Note: Just discovered this photo is from a movie set. The onlookers are cropped out of the photo. Still a clever arrangement!
