Twelve Cubed makes a 12′ by 12′ cube house. At such a small size you’d be surprised as to what fits inside. Small houses like this one create opportunities for people while helping the environment.
Small spaces can help you get out of debt or start a new career because they help you save money. Since the average one bedroom apartment is still somewhere around 800 square feet, we have to get creative to truly enjoy the benefits of living simply. That’s what James Stuart is doing with his Twelve3 prefab tiny house company. The company is based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia. These little dwellings have a variety of uses, just like other tiny houses.

Wow. I really, really like this house. I love the bed on the first floor, tucked under the stairs—-it looks so cozy! It’s just tall enough to sit up comfortably. Absolutely perfect. And did you notice the steps were actually shelves?!
Does anyone know if the Twelve Cube company still exists or at the least do they offer the build plans for interested builders?
So, did you ever discover if they are still around. I’d be interested in the plans, if not a kit…
