Arched cabins, yurts, round …so many ways possible that are not typical. Good ways.
Small dwellings in a big world.

“Quonset hut” — I don’t think I’ve heard the phrase in decades, but it immediately sets up so many reverberations in my memory and emotions. At the University of Iowa, “villages” of quonset huts and barracks left over from WWII housed married graduate students. I used to babysit for a number of those who lived there. Then, the summer before my senior year of high school, I participated in an American Friends Service Committee workcamp on the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Lame Deer, Montana. Our job: to help build a big quonset hut so that they would have a space for large for everyone to attend tribal meetings and get-togethers. It was a precious time. So many memories….

Donated Quonset huts were used for housing the staff and some of the residents when my mom first founded Kahumana … they worked out great and just what the community needed to get it’s feet off the ground.

I’m thinking that even if structure has a window, without a sill…one can be added after the fact…a small “shelf” up against the wall, just under the window and Ta-Da = windowsill 🙂
