More Than Just Green, Reclaimed Space is Delivering Sustainable Living
Austin-based builder Reclaimed Space is turning a new leaf in the green building industry. Designing, building and delivering fully-sustainable “Spaces” out of reclaimed materials, Reclaimed Space is building sustainable, not just green.
Each unit is custom-built using locally sourced materials taken from deconstructed homes. Rather than letting good materials go to waste, they are recycled and put to good use after thorough inspection and restoration.
Reclaimed Spaces are solar and wind energy compatible, making much of the energy it takes to power the Spaces renewable, and adding off grid possibilities. The single-pitch roof makes it easy to use filtered rainwater for the Space’s water supply, and gives the solar panels a full day of sunlight. Built on skids and beams, the Spaces are re-locatable; upon completion, they are delivered to any site.
Reclaimed Spaces have endless functions and possibilities. Remote living becomes simple, with the off-site construction and sustainable design. For land owners or real estate brokers, adding a Reclaimed Space increases property value and desirability by introducing livable space. The units’ cost-effectiveness and small size allows for affordable community living or temporary lodging. Whether it’s accommodations for a weekend retreat, guest or workspace, Reclaimed Space has a solution.
Reclaimed Space makes eco-friendly, sustainable living affordable. Pricing starts at $25,000 and ranges from $115 to $160 per square foot, depending on each Space’s individual features. These living quarters start at 240 square feet and can be configured modularly for larger designs.

What a great idea, and so well executed. These structures would serve as a nice guest suite as well as a cabin in the woods.
Simple,Unique, Creative and Green House Plans
Spreading the word on great home design
Neat looking cottages are they park homes? park model RVs? houses?
Very nice looking!
They look to be a house, RV, mobile home, cottage, shack, all of the above.
Great small spaces, good article.
These spaces are really cool! I’ve been a bit reluctant to embrace many of the reclaimed materials/sustainable living concepts I’ve seen since they seem so incompatible with a practical lifestyle. I mean, come on, composting toilets made of boards and old buckets?! (Yea, like you’d date someone who lives with one of those!) But these homes look totally workable…and creative! It’s exciting to think of how one would incorporate functional materials that are otherwise cast aside into an appealing and welcoming abode.
