Seattle Time Lapse

Hey Blue Dot fans!

During our recent research trip to Seattle for small scale living, we filmed a ton and learned a lot. Below we've posted a time lapse sequence of the Seattle/Tacoma International Airport at sunset exclusively for our blog followers! Take a look and check back as we'll have more content from the trip coming online in the next week!

Tumbleweed Tiny House

An entrepreneur named Jay Shafer has created a new line of mobile tiny houses called "Tumbleweed Tiny Houses". At 89 square feet they are the smallest that this producer has ever seen, but they are incredibly well thought out and ergonomic. Although a bit more drastic and a departure from what Blue Dot Communities is proposing, it is in the same spirit of innovation that Jay has created his dream home. We've included a video below (not produced by Blue Dot Films) about his experience creating and living in the house. What are your thoughts on this new brand of living?

Pocket Neighborhoods - Seattle

Blue Dot Films just returned from a reconnaissance trip to Seattle, WA to visit a few planned communities known as Pocket Neighborhoods. Over two days we visited more than four communities all with homes measuring less than two thousand square feet and built with communal areas, off site parking and cottage aesthetics all with the design intent of fostering community among its inhabitants.

We'll be doing a short documentary on the experience in the near future, as well as looking into this design and concept further in the next several months. Good things are on the horizon for the building and housing markets. Be sure to check back often for future updates, as well as promotional clips and media we'll be uploading by week's end!
