Alchemy Architects, based in St. Paul, Minnesota (651-647-6650) make modular housing units that look like LEGO boxes of varying sizes, which you can combine into what Alchemy calls weeHouses. They're single dwellings or hideaways and summer cottages. Alchemy also designs larger "not-so-wee" houses and does other types of residential and commercial building utilizing recycled and reused materials. They specialize in building strategies that reduce waste.
