Danielle Cory is sharing this 8×12 tiny house design as part of our 2015 8×12 tiny house design contest.
“Although I built this plan with a trailer in mind, it can work as a foundation home as well.
Features include:
- Drop down deck for entry
- Tall compact fridge (almost full size)
- Compact stove/oven
- Hide-a-way sink (counter drops down over it once faucet is swiveled to the side)
- In cabinets under the sink there can be optional drawers to pull out from behind the door
- Simple walk in shower
- Dining room seating has storage underneath
- Loft storage above closet/pantry.
- Closet/pantry can also store a compact washer/dryer combo (such as what you see in RVs)
- Swivel wall mounted tv in the loft
- Pop up tables/desks on each side of bed underneath the windows
- Box style stairs with storage in each step, bottom two steps are drawers, and there is extra storage for shoes and/or books.
- A grey water system sink and toilet combo (wash your hands with tank water as it refills from a flush, and the grey water fills the bowl)
- And extra cabinets and storage along the walls.
Hope you like my design!”

There are six separate side wall pieces. And three hinge under and over the floor for shipping.
This design can be put on wheels or on a foundation and you can cut windows and doors to your own liking. What do you think?

Rae Rickman has shared this 8×12 tiny house floor plan as part of our 2015 8×12 tiny house design contest.
It’s a tiny house with a full size basement, skylights, and stained glass windows in the kitchen and bathroom which I absolutely love.
There’s also a wall you can use for your own projector if you want to watch films. In addition, there’s a fold away bed for your guests.
And when you go upstairs to the master loft you can enjoy panoramic views. What do you think?

This is the story of a man who built his own tiny house for less than $500.
His name is Scott and he calls it his transforming tiny home because it has a custom and very simple fold-out bed. And here’s what’s really interesting. This is the biggest house he’s had in almost 3 years because before this he lived in a dome-tent, and before that, out of a backpack. So for him, the 83 sq. ft. cabin is roomy. Scott and his friends designed and built the simple tiny shelter for less than $500. It’s located on a friend’s 20-acre plot of land. Enjoy the full tour below. Can you imagine building a house for only $500 in materials? Talk about life-changing…
