This is the story of a tiny house with a curved living roof in Portland, Oregon shown here thanks to Living Big In A Tiny House. It’s Walker and Heather’s tiny home (@tinylivingbuildings) that they designed and built together with the help of Ben Garratt of Healthy Tiny Homes in Vancouver. This 8×24 tiny house design/build is classy, modern, whimsical, and zen, all at once.
It features interesting biophilic design elements too, which you can learn more about by watching the video tour below. It’s really interesting because they designed the house in-line with nature and environmentalism using recycled materials creatively and making other interesting decisions like the compost toilet and the living roof. As you’ll see, every little thing in this tiny house was very well thought-out. Take a look for yourself and please share your thoughts in the comments. Thanks!

At first glance I thought this was a Zyl Vardos house. Quirky enough to be so that’s for real.
Eric, same here… but I don’t think they are making houses anymore which is unfortunate as they were killer designs.
No, Zyl Vardos is still active… Just no longer posting regularly on social media but they’re taking orders for 2023. So clearly very busy…
I enjoy reading James D.’s frequent comments/observations. Very informative and practical. Keep up the excellent work, James D, wherever and whoever U are. Stephan of Arkansas
LOVE this tiny house! Incorporating nature, recycled materials, the curved roof & having plants on top…AMAZING! Awesome design!!!
Plants on top are so cool!
All the finishes were so pretty! I love the countertops in the bath and the kitchen. The honeycomb wall was clever, too. It is a unique design.
How do they get into the shower? It looks like there is a half wall there and no opening.
Cool house, I like the roof unless they live where they get snow.
It’s a built in bathtub/shower…
Yes I see its a built in shower. I was wondering how they get in the shower I don’t see an opening. I don’t see where the half wall has a door or gate or something.
No, I said Bathtub/Shower, it’s not just a shower but also a bathtub… It’s in the style of a Japanese Soaking Tub with just enough room for 2 to sit in it…
WOW!!!! So wonderfully quirky and creative! Living in something like this might just change ones attitude about life itself! I love the roof line and all of the unconventional design choices, especially that incredible ceiling! The honeycomb privacy screen for the loft is fabulous! I may have made a few changes in colors and basic materials but would choose to use equally clever tiles or wood or colors. What a refreshing space!
