Have you seen Derek “DEEK” Diedricksen’s 8′ x 8′ x 8′ 64-square-foot tiny house slash micro cabin? It’s made mostly out of plywood and if you’ve read his book, Humble Homes, Simple Shacks, you’ve seen pictures of it already.
They built it in Brooklyn, New York inside the old warehouse workshop you can see below. It was a prefab design done by Derek. It took him two days to create the prefab kit and 5 hours to put it together with 3 people. There are all sorts of cool designs inside and out include a pop up window, lantern and a voodoo owl.
