Tiny Houses

Just for fun I thought you might like this 64 sq. ft. micro cabin that is actually used as a sauna. Yes, a sauna, but in Finland and other places in Europe having a sauna outside is a social thing. The architects designed it for a client who wanted it during the winter months because it’s great [...]

Do you think living simply could be easy with this tiny house? Although it’s only 100 square feet it has just about everything you need.

I thought you’d like to tour Karen’s 265 sq. ft. backyard cottage in Berkeley, CA. Karen originally intended to use her backyard tiny house for her own personal use but she soon realized renting it out would be a great way to earn extra income. As you walk onto the front porch and through the french [...]

In this post I’m excited to share the Eagle 1 micro home with you. It’s a 350 sq. ft. two-story, steel-framed tiny house built on a foundation. When you walk into the main floor through the french doors you’re greeted by the living room and kitchen. Keep walking towards the back you’ll find the ‘front door’ along with [...]

A while back, I showed you Vina’s 140 sq. ft. tiny home on wheels, which she built for only $35,000. Since then, it’s been updated a bit, so I wanted to share it with you again. Her home is built onto an 8′ x 20′ trailer, giving her about 140 square feet of interior space to [...]

This is the story of a man who built his first tiny cottage on wheels. It has dormers and a covered front porch. It’s really nice, especially for his first build, don’t you think? I ran into this originally over at Reddit where the man’s son posts, “My dad’s first attempt at a tiny house, [...]

The founders of Allergutendinge architects, Matthias Prüger, Manuel Rauwolf and Ulrike Wetzel created this tiny house called Seelenkiste (which means the Soul Box or Spirit Shelter) as a meditation space. They designed and built it as a project while students at Bauhaus University in Germany. It’s a very minimalist micro house that’s made to study, [...]

This is a spacious tiny house on wheels by Rich’s Portable Cabins. You know, Rich has built so many tiny homes that I just have to keep showing you the options that are possible for tiny house living… Including the not-so-tiny ones. It’s important to look at all of these options because I want you [...]

This is the ultra-portable Elaine Cabin tiny house on wheels built by Rich Daniels of Rich’s Portable Cabins. In the past, I’ve shown you one of his park model tiny houses and another ‘extra long’ tiny house built by him as well. They’re both really cool and he’s built quite a lot of little portable homes. The [...]

If you’re into tiny living, great! But if it’s a little too tight… Let’s say you’re sharing the tiny home with a loved one, then you might need more space because where are you going to put all of your stuff? That’s why I like showing people these ‘park model’ tiny houses because it’s still [...]

Update: Sold out I love getting to create t-shirts and clothing geared towards simple living and tiny homes. It’s been a dream of mine for a long time and now it’s becoming real (thanks to your help). Last month we launched our first t-shirt campaign and we sold out of shirts within a week. I didn’t expect that at all! Thank [...]

When it comes to living in tiny houses I think we can all agree that there’s more than just one way of doing it. And this tiny cabin with a deck and poolside cabana is just another example of what one can do with our own creativity. I’m calling it luxury tiny living. Instead of struggling [...]

This is the story of a couple who teamed up and decided to build their own 250 square foot tiny cabin made out of mostly reclaimed materials for only around $7,000 in material costs. They did all the labor themselves. And since they built their tiny home on a foundation on their own land they [...]

Check out this modern tiny studio designed as a ‘granny flat’ for visiting family members. In 2012 an Australian family had this studio designed by Taft|Studio for Architecture. The family wanted to give their parents a nice place to stay while visiting for long summers. This allowed them to stay longer and feel more comfortable staying [...]

The purpose of this off grid tiny house was to offer young couples or millennials the ability to live outside the hustle and bustle of the big city. To have the ability to live off grid in a tiny house while being more environmentally friendly is the idea here. Initially  research was collected to see [...]
