Tiny Heirloom is a tiny house builder that specializes in luxury tiny homes on wheels in Portland, Oregon.

You probably remember when I first showed you them. See this post and this one if you already haven’t.

Their first tiny home was built with dormers. But this one seems longer. What I really like about it is that you can definitely star gaze from bed! And that’s just awesome, isn’t it?

Tiny Heirloom has more than a decade of construction experience and are focused on offering dependable service with the highest quality materials using the clients imagination to create their future tiny home on wheels.

And today I’m really excited to show you their latest build because it’s just awesome. I mean look at it (below). Whether you’d live in it or not, please enjoy and re-share with your friends if you want to below. Thank you!

Check out this 236 sq. ft. zen teahouse that can easily be a backyard office or guest retreat.

The owner of the zen teahouse was a internationally known architect, Pietro Belluschi, who was known during his lifetime for designing skyscrapers and churches with steeples in Portland, Oregon.

His son, Anthony Belluschi, has now restored the original 1944 tiny house into what you see below.

Pietro used to use it for reading architect plans, drafting, napping and as a simple getaway in his own back yard.

Inside the zen teahouse you will find three defined sections that are separated by sliding shoji screen doors.

This is to separate the kitchen from the bathroom and living/sleeping area.

Would you make a backyard office like this? Or could you live in a space like this full time?

The Skyline is a 160 sq. ft. tiny home on wheels in Portland, Oregon’s Caravan Tiny House Hotel.

Hotel guests can choose from a variety of other tiny houses on trailers to spend the night in depending on availability. Occasionally they even host tiny house tours.

It’s a great way to spend your next vacation if you want to experience what it’s like living in a tiny house. And if you’re seriously considering going tiny, I’d say this is a must before you consider building. This way first you can make sure it feels right.

This 80 sq. ft. Roly Poly tiny house on wheels is one of six tiny homes at Caravan – The Tiny House Hotel in Portland, Oregon.

It has an upstairs sleeping loft that adds some more square footage and surprisingly enough it can sleep up to 3 people since there’s one queen bed and one twin bed.

The tiny home’s dimensions are 12′ (length) x 6.66′ (width) x 12.5′ (height).

Staying in a tiny house (like this one) before you make any major life decisions or changes is always a good way to try out tiny living before making a major commitment.

Susan Moray enlisted the help of Jack Barnes Architects to help her convert her garage into a 550 sq. ft. ADU cottage that she now uses as a vacation rental in Portland, Oregon’s Ladd neighborhood. ADU, by the way, stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit in case you’re not familiar.

Together with Design Build Portland contractors they were able to get the job done for a total cost of $90,000, according to Accessory Dwellings. Now you can stay in the cottage if you’re ever in Portland.

Jack Barnes (architect) designed an amazing little cottage based on the already existing garage structure that’s so energy efficient it received a Platinum Award from Earth Advantage. And they had absolutely no trouble getting the plans approved by the city thanks to his expertise.
