Have you seen yourself living in a tiny, 140-square-foot house? Of course, not everyone thinks its the right for them as most people would love to accommodate all members of the family like Filipinos do.
But it was not the case for Filipino-American architect Vina Lustado. She founded an architectural firm in Ojai, California named Sol Haus Design that lives by the virtues of sustainability, conservation and efficiency.
Instead of having loans on bank, Ms. Lustado used her funds and built her own home that she designed. The house that she built was tiny yet it is elegant in style. It consists of French doors, it also has a wood burning stove and a solar panel which is the main source of her energy. It means that she has no electricity bills.
Her tiny home shows that your happiness does not depend on how big your home is, it depends on how contented you are with your life. Ms. Lustado is satisfied living in her tiny home that is close to her values. The limited space in her home allows her to be aware on the things that she spent her money to.
Living a humble life is what led Ms. Lustado to opening up her own business which is the small time architectural firm in California that opened in 2010.
