We need to consider how a home can be more secure at the onset of the design. We also need to have options to increasing security for homes that are already built-here are some ideas from an article by Jeff Cooper called “Notes on Tactical Residential Architecture”.

Mudrooms – improving your transition from garden to kitchen
If you plan on a permaculture home, there will be a lot of time outside on your yard enjoying your land. You may have noticed it sucks when you come back inside and you end up tracking your dirt in the house, or you have no proper space to sit and sort of transition intoContinue reading “Mudrooms – improving your transition from garden to kitchen”
EXPANDABLE HOMES
A home must be expandable. This also means that one can build at a more remote location more easily.

Future concerns
In the last week, protesters got into the Capitol building. An elected president of a world superpower has been censored. And pro-free speech social media app Parler has been attacked by the big tech companies (Apple, Google and Amazon).

Making Architecture more Permaculture
It is about time that we saw our homes shift to the ideas that are driving us. We need these homes to catch up to the inspired food forested land that we are designing to support the lifestyles and purposes we want to have.

I’ve done so initially to have a good basis of design that I can locate onto a site, with most of the problems of a home solved, most of the solutions included- then I can edit it toContinue reading “A Corner Stone Concept: Empowering DIY Homes”
Why America is Not Building Forever Homes anymore
A Forever Home – one where a family puts down roots, builds their lives together and the kids come to visit mom and dad when they are old.
