Here are some more awesome free plans from Zero, this time for a 10×14 cabin with a Scandinavian feel. The building has a traditional gable roof and includes planning for a wood stove to keep it extra cozy.
This would make a great backyard office, although you could easily add a mini kitchen without sacrificing too much space. What do you think of these plans? Update: the plans for this design are no longer available, but we’re keeping the images and inspiration here for anyone collecting ideas.

Michael is a musician who wanted a quiet place he could go to and write music. Originally he thought he’d convert a tiny home in just 3 months, but his attention to detail (and there are so many thoughtful features in this build!) meant it took 2 years and 8 months to see the finished product.
The cozy cabin skoolie has a huge rooftop deck, a stone-facade fireplace, and a really cool desk space that hides a full keyboard and a TV/computer monitor where he can edit his work. He has under-bed storage, a great kitchen, and a wet bath. Enjoy the tour!

Karen and Chris worked hard and raised six children together, but for their retirement, they’ve hit the road in a self-converted skoolie to see more of the country! While they miss their kids, it’s been so fun to travel around together.
Their conversion is beautiful, and it’s fun to see a skoolie with no roof raise, just to give you an idea of what you can still do in a space with lower ceilings. They included everything to make themselves comfortable — even a soaking tub! You’ll love the tour below.

Blandine and her daughter, Anaïs, have been living in a Baluchon tiny home for two years, and they recently got a second THOW to act as a playroom for Anaïs — and her future home! While the living room in the THOW is currently set up as a soft play area, it’s all removable, so it can someday be her living room.
Because it will eventually be Anaïs’ own home, it has a kitchen, bathroom, and loft bedroom that are all beautiful and functional for full-time living. What do you think of the idea of getting your child a tiny house for their future home? I love it!

Patty is a truly remarkable woman. After spending four years caring for her mother 24/7, she found herself wondering what to do next when her mom passed away. YouTube led her to vanlife, and eventually, she found herself working with a builder to create the perfect van home.
The van layout is great, with a hidden fridge under a flip-up butcher block, a collapsible shower, and an emergency toilet under a bench seat. When not in use, all of those features hide away for a seamless beach cottage look. What do you think?

Sole and Joey first got into campervan conversions when they built out their own van in order to escape the weight of San Diego rent. They adjusted to the tiny lifestyle and eventually decided to make converting vans into a business!
So far, they’ve converted 5 full rigs and done some other partial conversions, as well. Below, you’ll find a photo tour of their latest creation, along with a Q&A about how they got into the business.

Catherine and Chris converted a box truck (or “lorry” in British English) into a full-time home they call “Florry the Lorry.” As empty nesters from a blended family of seven, they built the conversion themselves over 18 months while still working, then hit the road across Europe with their dog Rolo.
The interior is lined in honey-colored wood that gives the space a warm cottage feel, with a fixed double bed, L-shaped couch, full kitchen with double oven, wet bathroom, and a wood stove for cold weather.
