You Can Live the Tiny House Dream in a Brooklyn Backyard
An artist offers up a cabin experience in the city as an experiment in bartering for space.
You're in the city. You know this because you've been traveling along busy city streets -- Brooklyn streets. The brick towers of housing projects are visible on the horizon.
But open the door to a tiny wooden structure in the backyard of a townhouse, and it smells like a country cabin. Is it the kerosene lamp? The raw wood? Whatever the source of the aroma, it takes you out of New York and into a different frame of mind.
