Off-grid living in the original 336 SF weeHouse was weekend respite for a musician and her son. Located on prairie land near Lake Pepin, part of the Mississippi River, with shorelines in both Wisconsin and Minnesota, the Arado weeHouse was built ”in-factory” by Geoffrey C. Warner and a team of craftsmen for about $60,000 (in 2003). It was shipped to site via truck, and installed by crane onto a pier foundation. The deck and outhouse soon followed. The house was relocated to the Twin Cities in 2015. It still stands as the iconic image for the weeHouse identity.
