Light load: Construction photo album

SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE WOODS IN THE USA—In the past, MM&D has featured shipping containers being used as market stalls, as art projects, as volleyball courts and as non-profit housing complexes. Today we’re showcasing a simple residential dwelling.

Okay, maybe the Taj Malodge, isn’t that simple.

Chandeliers, rounded archways and mounted deer heads don’t exactly scream simple. Neither do solar panels or French provincial-styled furniture.

While there are plenty of shots of the exterior and interior of the Taj (including a well-stocked pantry that would be the envy of any end-of-the-world survivalist), the most compelling feature about this series of pictures is that it documents the construction process involved in creating the home.
