You have probably heard the news by now but in case you haven’t we wanted to share a little information about the new Tiny House Hotel that recently launched in Portland, Oregon.
Tiny house aficionados and entrepreneurs Deb Delman and Kol Peterson opened a three-room (or, rather, 3 house) tiny hotel in the Portland Arts district.
They worked with the city government to acquire the right permitting and spoke with the neighborhood businesses about their plans.
They contracted several tiny house designers and builders to create and lease the three current tiny houses with the hopes to expand.

Here’s a tiny house that you probably haven’t seen before.
It’s a 9′ x 24′ Irish Gypsy Cottage as named by Joe O’Conner of Zoe Cottages.
At just 200-square-feet I think you’ll be surprised at how spacious it might feel relative to most of the 8’6″ wide versions that we normally see on trailers.
Also if you you’re not a fan of sleeping lofts you’ll be especially happy because this design has a downstairs bedroom.

I’m sure most of you are familiar with the film TINY: the Movie, it was produced by Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller.
They are owners of a beautiful 127 square feet home located in Colorado that costs almost nothing to power.
The couple always wanted to own their own property in the mountains but didn’t realize they could really pursue that dream until they stumbled upon the tiny house movement.
This was going to be their first construction project they had ever attempted so it was challenging but their desire to simplify and own their own house overcame all of the obstacles.
I encourage you to come inside to see the full tour below:

I love this type of tiny house because it has a bit of that modern touch that I enjoy so I just had to share it with you.
Well, it isn’t exactly a tiny house, it’s actually a backyard study and office.
The owners, Celestino Piralla and Cornelia Stumpf, wanted more space in their home where they can work, do art and study.
So instead of adding another room and risk changing the footprint of their house, they decided to utilize the extra space in their backyard to create a 320 square feet studying/working headquarters.

One of my favorite parts about tiny houses is actually visiting them and giving them a tour in person.
But that’s not always easy or possible. So the next best thing is drooling over photos of tiny houses online, right?
That’s why I’m so excited to show you the Almost Glamping Tiny House and introduce you to the folks behind it.
They just shared their most recent interior photos of the house and I really think you’ll enjoy it. Let’s start by showing you the exterior first though. 🙂

Isn’t it beautiful? I like how it’s perfectly symmetrical. To me, it’s so pleasing to the eye. 🙂

I wanted to show you this 165 square foot tiny house on a trailer that was built using slightly modified Tumbleweed Fencl plans. It has that rustic look to it that I personally love and the pictures below speak for themselves.
The interior is beautiful and features high quality home style cabinetry with a spacious kitchen/bathroom for such a tiny home. A design like this is perfect for those of you who prefer that your tiny house feels like a home over the futuristic overly-modern style like this.

It’s assuring to know that one of TIME’s top 100 most influential people in the world has planted his prints in the tiny house community.
This man is an Italian prize winning architect by the name of Renzo Piano who has created his own high tech self sufficient tiny house prototype.
He is known for creating some of the most magnificent structures around the world including the tallest skyscraper in Europe, named The Shard.
Now when you hear his credentials I’m sure you assume that his tiny house probably wouldn’t be so tiny. 300 square feet maybe? Definitely not less than 200, right?
Guess again. Piano’s tiny house project, dubbed ”Diogone” is a wooden saddle-roofed house that has a surface area of 2.4 x 2.4 meters and a ridge height of 2.3 meters. Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s just around 62 square feet!
I’m sure you’re wondering, “How did the same man who built something as large as The Shard (Europe’s tallest skyscraper) turn around and decide to build a tiny house that sounds like it might even be too small for people like you and me, who are tiny houses enthusiasts?
Well, this is not no regular tiny house because ”Diogone” was designed to function in various climate conditions as a self sufficient system that collects its own water and even supplies its own power.

I’ve been wanting to remind you about this for the last few weeks because it’s a great way to help a fellow tiny house person who could really use it.
And the great part is you can get a “perk” as a thanks for helping. Now there’s a cool way to encourage giving, right? Although we should all be humbled by those who give anonymously just because they want to.
Anyway, many of you have heard of Kim Langston who has been having to rebuild her tiny house because her first one was burned down in a mysterious barn fire last summer.
So what I’d like to do (with your help) is continue to help Kim go back from this:
To this:
It’s totally optional to contribute. But if you can spare anything and feel like doing it, then do go for it! Otherwise, no problem and no worries! Just enjoy the video below and don’t worry because those of us who are able to pitch in will. 🙂

I thought I’d show you Nancy’s tiny house.
It’s approximately 14’x9′ and is really unique because it’s a flexible, breathable structure.
And it’s made from materials around the sheep pasture where it’s located in Turangi, New Zealand.
These materials include bamboo, silage netting and wool from the thousands of sheep there.
By the way, Tika Whare means “true home” in Maori. And Maori are the people of New Zealand.
