#26 Blasting Through the Past with Architect and Tiny House Grandfather, Lester Walker

Lester Walker was into tiny houses before they were even called that. While humans were being blasted into space in tiny capsules, he wondered about similar spaces on land for living in. Then, 20 years later, Lester won a competition to design a 1500 square foot house. From there his passion caught fire. He wondered “why we can’t build smaller?”...for all kinds of reasons. He wrote a book, then another. Lester, who could be considered the grandfather of tiny houses, today runs his successful architecture firm with his son Jess. On this episode we blast through Lester’s love of tiny houses and how for a time they captivated his attention.
