If you’ve been stuck on the how to find land for your tiny house issue, I think this how to find land for camping resource might be of help someday.

It’s sort of like an Airbnb but it’s dedicated to help connect land owners with people who want to find a place to camp. And of course we thought, “hey, this might work for tiny house owners too, right?”

Maybe it will! So I wanted to let you know about it. The website is called Hipcamp. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments. Do you think this could be a promising resource to connect tiny home owners with appropriate lots?

This is a 107-square-foot off-grid tiny house that was built for only $2,500 using mostly reclaimed materials.

It was built with the help of 15 people working together to make it happen and it features a unique geodesic dome window.

When you go inside, you’ll find a living area with a couch and workstation and an upstairs sleeping loft. Since this tiny home is located within a community, the owner has chosen to use the communal kitchen and bathroom on the property.

Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

This is a 67-square-feet recycled tiny house built for only $420.

It’s built on privately owned land where residents are developing their own DIY community.

Residents get to use the land for free in exchange for developing it with other structures, farming, and more. In the future, we believe more vacant land owners will allow this sort of arrangement. What are your thoughts on this community setup? Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

While volunteering at a cold-weather shelter near my home in Grand Forks, British Columbia, I was consulted about designing transitional housing for the homeless. After some discussions with the staff and guests at the shelter I went home to draft some floor plans that I thought might meet the housing needs of the homeless, with dignity, at a low initial cost.

I was then struck by my incredible hypocrisy. Here I was living in a typical 1200-square-foot house – how could I possibly know what would be required for someone to live in a Tiny House?

I asked myself, “What would be the very smallest space that I could live in with pride and comfort?”

It’s now one year later – in seven months of leisurely construction and frantic downsizing I have built and moved into, my 125-square-foot tiny house on wheels. I am irrationally happy in my new home, and I now feel somewhat qualified to suggest some design considerations for small living spaces.
