If you haven’t seen the 200 sq. ft. Zen in Law tiny house yet I think you’ll be glad you did today.
It’s a 10′ x 20′ studio was designed and built for a local author near downtown Boise, Idaho.
He wanted to have space for writing, doing workshops and hosting the occasional guest.
But if it were mine I’d like to live in it full-time because it’s AWESOME…
You’d just have to be willing to use the kind of scary ladder to the loft.
But besides that, I think you’ll agree that it could make a great full-time tiny house.

It was designed by Gravitas LC and is actually available as a vacation rental on AirBNB by the owners.
One thing that’s different about it is that it has a murphy bed in the loft.

If you like tiny homes on foundations then the SOLETA might interest you.
It’s a zero energy tiny house created by Catalin Butmalai of the Justin Capra Foundation for Invention in Romania.
The house is on display at the United States Embassy in Bucharest.
Not only does it power itself thanks to solar and wind, but it can also be managed with your smartphone.
It’s 48 square meters downstairs and 9 square meters up in the loft.
That translates to 516 square feet downstairs and 96 square feet upstairs.
So 612 square feet in total living space without including the outside deck space.

Climb through the trails in the woods of Whistler and if you’re lucky you can find Joel Allen’s secret treehouse called The HemLoft.
It’s a wonderful modern micro cabin nestled on a tree surrounded by forest, greenery, and mountains.
Once you find it, the little round wooden steps lead you right inside the perfectly built modern micro home.

I always appreciate a garage to studio conversion because they’re usually small and make great use of space.
This is just that… A studio that used to be a garage which was renovated into a tiny guest house.
It has floor heating, cathedral ceilings, a beautiful bathroom and a full sized kitchen ready for you to cook in.
And it’s in Boulder, Colorado! Another reason I really like garage conversions is because they make better use out of a structure that already existed. And this one- as you’ll see below- has been very nicely converted into a studio that I’d enjoy living in.

This off grid modern solar house in California isn’t tiny or even that small… But since it’s 100% off the grid I thought it was a smart enough design to include here.
At 1200 sq. ft. it would make a great home for a family or person who spends lots of time at home. It’s called the IT HOUSE and is made of glass and metal in the middle of the beautiful desert landscape in Pioneertown, California. The design system used to build this house was created by Taalman Koch.

How can you not like this modernized tiny cottage of just 250 square feet with a sleeping loft in Seattle?
It’s built by Michelle de la Vega who is an artist and designer in the area. Do you agree when they say the cottage is modern and rustic? I do.
My favorite part about it is how everything about it seems ‘normal’ sized even though it’s just 250 sq. ft. which I think might be important when sharing space with others for long periods.
It has a wood burning stove, big french doors and a large bathtub you can get wrinkly in while rejuvenating.

The Cricket is a light weight pop-up trailer that is perfect for your next possible road adventure.
Not as simple and inexpensive as a teardrop camper (like the one I showed you yesterday)..
But it’s really flexible, modern, sleek and still relatively affordable for an RV/travel trailer.
The one I’m showing you today you can actually rent and try out for yourself if you’re ever in the Portland, Oregon area.
The best part is that you can get it dropped off within 50 miles of the location or you can make the trek there yourself.
I thought, “what an awesome way to try something like this out without having to fork out thousands of dollars.”
So I did what any blogger would do.. Share it with you here on Tiny House Talk!

When people tell me they want to travel a lot with their future tiny house on wheels I always think, “hey, why not just go for a travel trailer because it’s lighter and easier to tow?”
And if you wanted you can always still live in a travel trailer just like you would in a tiny house. Especially if you get to completely renovate it.
In this case, we’ve got a 1954 Airstream that was wonderfully renovated into what I consider a modern tiny cabin on wheels by Timeless Travel Trailers.

If you’re anything like me you also happen to like yurts. Or pretty much any “alternative living” type of structure.
So I wanted to show you this private yurt cabin in Malibu, California today.
It’s surrounded by a fully functioning organic citrus farm and vegetable garden which I think makes it even better.
I’ve always wanted to stay in a yurt so I’ve got something like this on my mind for my next vacation, how about you?
