WSJ profiles latest Rural Studio $20K House

On Saturday, The Wall Street Journal profiled the latest addition to the $20K House Project, an initiative of Auburn University‘s acclaimed Rural Studio. The square-shaped house, now home to area resident Joanne Davis, is 26-by-26 feet, with 530 sf of interior space. With construction substantially completed in just seven weeks, $13,000 budgeted for materials and $7,000 for labor, Ms. Davis’ new home lives up to the $20K House challenge.

The WSJ article includes an online gallery with half a dozen photographs. Click here to access the Rural Studio’s dedicated blog about the $20K House, which includes dozens more photographs and extensive documentation of the project.
