Tiny Houses

It all started when the children of an aerospace engineer wanted a treehouse: Their dad thought a shed was just too basic, and instead he created what would later become the first iteration of the “Conker.” These Sci-Fi Conkers are spherical homes (unless you get the wheelchair-accessible “Igloo” version) that feature sustainable materials and a [...]

This is the story of Neu Community, an up-and-coming prefabricated housing development in the Austin, Texas area. With thousands moving to the area and the Tesla giga-factory as an example hiring 20,000 people, communities like this are desperately needed in this area not to mention other areas with housing shortages and affordability issues too. What [...]

We all grow and change, and unsurprisingly, the first tiny house Richard ever built has needed some updates as the years rolled by. He lived in the THOW for about 18 months after building it, and then had it on Airbnb for about 4 years as he traveled cross-country in a micro tiny house! When [...]

Le’shaun recorded the hit rap single “Doin’ It” with LL Cool J and got her first taste of tiny living on the tour bus she lived on while traveling the country.

When Linda and her husband wanted a place to stay separate from their kids while visiting family in Kentucky, they faced a common problem: how do you maintain independence without booking expensive hotels for extended stays?

As always, treehouses—and homes with unusual shapes—hold a special place in my heart. This TreehouseTopia Airbnb is the best of both worlds, suspending a two-story Yurt-like structure amid the trees of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The levels aren’t divided by typical flooring, however. Instead, a taught cargo net acts as an extra lounge space around the bed! [...]

Named the “Gunyah” in honor of the aboriginal word for “house/shelter,” this tiny house is simpler and more streamlined than Hauslein‘s previous builds.

This Baluchon build makes use of some of the company’s best design features, like their mesh catwalk that allows for sunlight to filter through the house and access between the lofts!

Vera had gone through a lot before she sold her home and started building her tiny house — 3 bouts of cancer and two battles with Lyme’s Disease. Resilient as ever, she spent two years sourcing and building a sustainable tiny house and has lived in it for nearly a decade now. Vera took the [...]

Check out the latest luxury tiny house from the builders at Tiny Heirloom. This 37×8.5 ft tiny house sits on a gooseneck trailer, allowing for a private Master bedroom with headroom.

In general, most container homes we feature seem to be in that 40-foot range, but here’s a micro tiny for you! At just 128 square feet, Kountry Containers had to get creative to fit everything. They made great use of the flat top of the container, adding a porch with a safety railing where one [...]

This is one super cute little 107 sq. ft. cabin tucked into the towering trees of Fernwood Hills in Ontario.
