Tiny House Version 1

Level 1 Plan L1-384 Deck-192 L2-144 Total-528

Design rationale - It is organized around a small plan with only the essential elements following the small house concept. The deck faces south to allow for passive solar heating of the house. A storage spine is the main organizing principle with a hall and spaces feeding off. I have separated out toilet and shower for an improved bathing experience.

Level 2 plan L2-144

The loft level has a simple bedroom with a window seat and built-in closets. The south facing wall is a wrapping window that could allow for roof access.

I stumbled across Jay Shafer's website (http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/) a couple of years ago and have been intrigued about the idea ever since. There has always been a market for RVs, trailers and small prefab pods but I think this is starting to address a new potential for high quality and authentic materials in a micro house that can be mobile.

I just had to make a stab at a tiny house. If you are not familiar check out: http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/.

Apparently people can't get enough of these mini houses/large doll house houses. It is also a sensible question to wonder how small a living space can be and still be enjoyable to live. This version is roughly 152 sq ft. I tried another version with 66 sq ft.
