The layout of my tiny house was tough to plan out because I was working with such a small place and wanted a lot in it. My challenges of the build was figuring out my roof layout, cutting and shaping the roof, and keeping it watertight. The materials I used are a mix of old [...]
We both wanted to travel and work for ourselves, but neither one of us really like moving all our stuff around, so a tiny house seemed to be the perfect solution. We spent about a month drawing in CAD and making life-size chalk drawings and moving around in those and came up with our layout [...]
"We are thankful for being on the same page with our dreams and what we want to do in the future. Living tiny is going to allow us to focus on the experiences we want to have in life and the future we want to build together." Hello, my name is January. I was born [...]
When the term “tiny home” started surfacing online, the idea of hyper designing a small space was quite appealing. Paired with the opportunity to create a home that was more sustainable than traditional homes in the city, it took little thought before we decided we were going to do it. My wife Rose and I [...]

Mattias is an environmentalist who works as a sustainable energy consultant and Anniek an urban geographer working in mobility for a municipality. We love being outside [...]
Our HOME. I still need to be pinched every once in a while because, in Hawaii, no one owns their own home outright at 25 years old. 2.5 years beats a 30+ year mortgage with full-time jobs, right?! We thought so too! My husband and I started this tiny house journey in February 2015. Believe [...]
The main idea behind the house design was to create a mini farmhouse — a comfy, utilitarian space with tons of natural light. When I met my husband, I was on track to open a hostel in Portland, Maine. I put my plans on hold to start a farm, family and build our life in [...]
It took about two years and three months to build my tiny house, working part-time between a full-time job and through slow, cold, Upstate, NY winters.
