A 200-year old townhouse in the historic Leiden, Netherlands lands a make-over and is turned into a modern minimalist home with history. The original structure remains the same while the interior has been stripped and re-vamped with multifunctional furniture and a twisting staircase to get to each of the three levels. Total square footage on this 17th-century neatly stacked townhouse…
This is the story of a creative young lad who invented and built his own bicycle-powered ELEVATOR to get up to his tiny treehouse cabin which is built way up in the trees. Pretty incredible! The story goes like this… Ethan got sick of climbing the ladder dozens of times a day to and from…
Swedish designers Inrednin Gsgruppen created the Bird’s Nest Tiny House in northern Sweden. It’s a part of a hotel that’s up in the trees, camouflaged, and ready to relax in. Unfortunately, it’s pretty expensive to stay at. But if you do have the money, it would likely be unforgettable (there are other cool shelters on…

This is the story of Ethan Waldman’s mortgage-free tiny house that he designed and built himself! What an incredible shortcut to mortgage-freedom, right? A tiny house… yes!

Earlier I introduced you to Graham Wales’ Inaugural tiny house and his new company East Coast Tiny Homes. (Update: East Coast Tiny Homes is no longer in business). His mission is to custom design and build the perfectly suited micro home for his clients on an individual basis. To kick things off he has already…
If you’re thinking of traveling with your future tiny house you might want to think about building something like this because it’s aerodynamic. Not only that but it’s also lighter in weight too. And when you go inside I think you’ll be amazed at all that’s in there. Granted, this is pretty big for a…
This 387 sq. ft. micro apartment was designed for a recently divorced business man. I can still see some couples making a space like this work great for themselves. Especially if it were situated in a desirable location where you’d be able to walk to and from some of your favorite places. How would you…
I first met Graham Wales at a tiny house workshop in Wilmington, NC last year. He immediately told me about his dreams of becoming a tiny house builder by starting his own company to offer design/build services. I thought that was awesome and it gets better because today he’s accomplishing exactly what he told me…
