[...] Offbeat Homes is an odd blog to write. ‘Offbeat’ is subjective and mostly, I suppose, subjective to me. There’s no doubt that almost everyone would agree that structures like the Poop House or the Spider Web Chalet are offbeat.

Hmmm, I don’t think it’s a curmudgeon kind of thing. People are different. If we all had our perfect dream home they’d all be crazy different. I’m not the biggest modular fan ever — but these are so much cooler then when I’ve seen. Some people really love the whole mod look I prefer a more organic type look; less clean lines. Although, lately I’ve had some really amazing clean lined homes.

To be perfectly honest, I’m not “feeling” these designs, though they sure do beat your typical modular homes!

I’d like to see something that blends into the scenery just a bit more… hmmm… call me a curmudgeon today, I guess!

Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer! West Coast Green truly is pulling out all stops this year. Its a very exciting experience for all of us working on the conference. It is amazing how many Canadians were on board last year and are already involved this year. We thank you!
