Ken Isaacs Microhouse – Revisited
Alec, a student in Glasgow, Scotland, has built a replica of Ken Isaacs Microhouse. Starting in September he plans to begin living in it for one year. He’ll be recording his learnings on his blog at unv20.blogspot.com.
Ken Isaacs, the author of How to build your own Living Structures, was an early contemporary innovator in tiny living spaces. Below is a video of Isaacs walking through some of his early work including the original Microhouse.

Tiny Free House featured in The Pavement
I was contacted recently by the folks at the Pavement, a free magazine for homeless people in London and Scotland. They wanted to do a story on the Tiny Free House I’m building out of pallets. The article is in the current issue and provides basic tips on how to construct a tiny house from pallets. You can read the complete article online at www.thepavement.org.uk.
