Childhood love of manual德里克戴德Ruike Sen created a four exquisite mini-cabin, with an average area of less than 1.6 square meters, cost only 200 dollars, in the spare time he likes into the hut, drinking coffee and reading.
Norfolk, Massachusetts.
The depths of winter, the sun shining in the deep snow, the bush is bare branches out of the beautiful snow pressure arc. Stoughton town into a quiet courtyard, several wooden hut in the white world of Mini is particularly trips.
A high-stronger man was talking about the sparkle and the camera. Man looks very young, the body covered with a dark blue sweater, jeans, marching feet, a pair of sports shoes. He kept his hand pointing nearly as high as those cabins, and sometimes got into house, or sitting or lying down, sometimes they make all kinds of exaggerated around the rock style.
德里克戴德 Ruike Sen (Derek Diedricksen) - mini-cabin designers, architects, owners, are recording the program on his Youtube "mini-cabin." The 5 set series has been completed. Derek took us to visit the show that he personally designed, built, taking care of the cabins. After uploading the first set of programs within a week to break through the 8,000 hits.
"I now have four mini-cabins." Derek is very proud of their work. Derek cabins scattered in the backyard, each block has a house full of character names: Gypsy landlords, rustic rickshaw, mini plump girl, homeless shelters. The name is Derek taken based on the characteristics of housing: "Gypsy landlord" is a little gypsy-style house; "hillbilly rickshaw" and looks like a push tricycle; "mini plump girl" like a beautiful fat lady large feet high heels; "homeless shelters" are like Rangers can always carry on the road in the hiding place.
Derek made since the series after the burst of red on Youtube, he has gradually received fewer than a dozen media outlets, influence, along with the rapid increase in the introduction of a variety of reports. Northeastern University in Boston for graduate Derek communication, the face of the media is not a difficult thing, let alone can promote his ideas to you, why not. Childhood love of hand-
Derek grew up in Madison, Conn., the mother is primary school teacher, his father is a high school class the teacher manual. According to Derek recalls the basement of his home filled with all the world's best and most complete machine tools. Derek grew up on a small building of particular interest. Scout period, he had built numerous castles, tree house and small sheds. "I'm 10 years old birthday, my father gave me a Lester Walker's" mini house "as a gift." Lester Walker, a famous contemporary masters of architecture in the United States, and since then has become Derek Walker idol. The book is also used in some techniques of his own to construct the building process. "In addition, many skills are learned from my father there."
Derek tried to remember the work of childhood: "I first really works, or works first serious backyard at home, I built a simple hostel. Pa parents I've been playing with the TV at home very angry, so my friends and I built a DIY small house playing video games. "Derek and partners took a while to build up a boy heaven. "Very good sound insulation hut, which has a flat bed, a hammock, as well as heating." Derek's most childhood spent in that small room, "a small room with a small black and white TV . we took from home to a long wire, and even can play on Nintendo games. "
Since then, Derek has not stopped the construction of house activities. In 2000, when he was 23 years old in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom Derek (Northeast Kingdom) bought a piece of land, using weekend time with his brother Dustin, with his wife Elizabeth built a covering about 23 square feet meters of huts. "I was 4 hours a week to open the car to get there," Derek interest in stimulating the creation of an infinite desire, "the house is almost entirely hand built, unless we used to cut plywood, electrical."
Vermont Northeast Kingdom to the bungalow is the largest of all the works of Derek one. "Army for a cabin without running water, no electricity, only one outside of the toilet. A house surrounded by woods, very quiet. We do not often stay there, the hut is more like a vacation home." Already has two children Derek clearly know the difference between life and vacation. In 2002, Derek and his wife at a distance of about 10 miles of Boston bought a 88 square meters of second-hand cottage. "Over the past 8 years, brick by brick we are slowly transforming the house." Derek's two children were born in this house, and his four miniature cottages was born in the backyard.
Four different styles of house
4 cabins are all materials that other people throw away the waste material, the average cost were $ 200 less. Derek told the "Bund": "My first goal is to build some prices can easily move and allow ordinary people to bear the small house."
"'Rustic rickshaw' is my first house. When on vacation in Vermont, there are always some of my friends forgot to bring sleeping bags. I do not want them to live in my Vermont house, so the initial idea of making this house is to cope with such a number of people. "Although the motive of this creation, but so far he has not the" country bumpkin rickshaw "shipped to Vermont to go to reception who did not return drunken friend. There's also the only night Derek himself.
From the appearance point of view, "hillbilly rickshaw" It seems like a simple addition of the top of the cart. Zhang Xuesong base lodge is a bar rolling benches, the roof was angled like, covered with a transparent hard plastic plates, the distance between the roof in the end seat is only 0.9 meters to 1.5 meters. Cabin length 2.1 m, width 0.8 meters, 4 there are two sides to the wall surface of transparent glass. House furnishings are simple, the floor covered with a rectangular piece of mat color stripes, a few cushions placed at random; the left wall embedded with a small shelf; transparent wall with an old kerosene lamp hanging. In the sunny afternoon, Derek like drilling cabin, reading, coffee, enjoy the scenery of the head and eyes.
"Gypsy landlord" of the area of 2.2 square meters, is the largest of four of a hut. Storey house in between 1.6 meters to 1.8 meters, became the only way to Derek's house almost stand up straight. The main body of the entire room wooden building from the abandoned boat, where the abandoned boat window shutters from the other fan was abandoned washing machine front shelf. Small room with a bed board 2.4 m long. To save space, Derek is designed to be received can be combined style, usually do not have time to put away the whole mattress, fixed on the wall. In addition to the bed board, 1.8 m long, 1.2 meters wide and can then lie down on the floor of two people, but if it is a more than 1.8 meters tall, can only lie along the diagonal. Hut is small, but the details yet elegant. Stood on a few colorful bottles, there was a considerable sense of style inside the lamp, the corner is also equipped with a simple heating device, the subject is a waste frying pan, the top connected to a range hood exhaust pipe, plus a broken cymbals for heat-reflective film, when the cold huts bring a ray of warmth to give. "This is my friends do brainstorming with the place." The cottage is the most common move along Derek's place, "brainstorming to do here than in those surrounded by white walls of the room, more out of conventional thinking."
"Mini plump girl" is the smallest of four a house, form the trailer looks a bit like an architect's triangle jack. It consists of two different sizes of plywood cube, the base is a piece of thick planks. Large area of less than 0.4 cubic meters, a small cube of 0.63 square meters. Basically, Derek can sit in a large cube, and then straight into a small cube in the legs. "Mini plump girl," the left is the side of the glass windows, lattice windows, close the window paper pattern of tropical birds; another window removal from the washing machine before the board under the round glass side. The floor covered with a green and yellow pad, on which stood a few soft cushions, corner them the side of the tambourine, just like a cozy little space.
Derek's latest work is "homeless shelters", the 1.44 square meters of space was a small fan. In addition to a transparent hard plastic roof, the house became the external walls have been painted bright orange, far from looking like a smiling shark, quite a bit childish. "Homeless shelters" the cost of less than 100 dollars, has now become almost a paradise for children to play Derek, "it's an external heat-absorbing materials are available. Even in winter, the temperature inside will not be very low. Like Now this season, in which the children can still take a nap comfortably. "
Derek said that he hooked on the construction of mini-cabin: "There is a critic that I am 'the hands of too many mad scientists wood waste'."
