Command Post
While this little command post at a Marina in France is not a house, it reminded me of fire tower-like tiny houses. Not exactly a warm and rustic timber frame fire tower but for those who like concrete and steel, a really nicely done little building.
Extreme Tiny House Boat Living
This tiny house is located on Powell Lake in coastal British Columbia. It’s just 400 square feet (20′x20′) and sits on a floating platform made up of giant logs.
Tiny House – New Again
It’s always fascinating to me to find a new tiny house built inside the ruins of an old tiny house. This one is just over 300 square feet and is located in Snape Maltings, Snape, Suffolk. The architect was Haworth Tompkins.
Söderöra in Sweden
This little summer house in Sweden was designed by Tham & Videgård Architects. It’s small but not really tiny. I wanted to include it because of the minimal use of space, especially the micro bedrooms, and the bizarre use of roofing felt as exterior siding.
The Swamp Hut
I love this tiny house! I had a similar idea that I posted on Tiny House Design a while back that I called the Shed Cluster Concept. I don’t know if that post inspired these folks to build The Swamp Hut but it sure is inspiring to see something so similar complete.
Coyote Cottage for sale
I was sad to see that the Coyote Cottage is for sale, but then again, I can’t blame the owners for choosing to move back to a more urban place.
I wrote about this remote off-the-grid homestead back in October 2008 on Tiny House Design. If you’re considering a big move back to the land you might want to take a closer look at this little place. Thanks for the tip Eva!
House Arc
This is a wonderful new tiny house system by Joseph Bellomo. This prototype is 150 square feet, weights 3000 pounds, and can be flat packed in a package that measures only 4′ by 10′ by 3′.
Michael Pollan’s Writing House
Michael Pollan is a well known author and has a tiny tiny house garden office where he writes. His most recent book is titled Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual
Cape Russell Pavillion by Sanders Pace Architecture
It’s always interesting to see what architectural firms come up with when tasked to design small structures. This one was designed by Sanders Pace Architecture. Their client wanted an off-the-grid structure for weekend use. I think the exterior texture is really incredible as well as the dramatic projecting roofline.
A Potter’s Tiny House
As someone with a background in ceramics it always makes me happy to find another potter building a tiny house. Most people don’t know this but potters tend to be Jack & Jill’s of all trades because of the diverse set of skills needed to be a ceramic artist. This is totally evident in this concrete block dome house build by Alfred University graduate Peter Roberts.
