Tiny House Living

Where did July go?

Thanks to a hacker by the name of JohnnyA I decided to take a short break from publishing Tiny House Living. He has been busy hacking many blogs and luckily only one of my big blogs was temporarily effected, this one. I’ve battened down all the hatches so we should have no more problems (knock on wood).

Tiny House Living is a regular newsletter on tiny houses, simple living, and sustainable architecture that comes out pretty much every Sunday. For more tiny house news and information you can also follow us on at our Tiny House Design Facebook Page, Twitter and by Subscribing by Email.

One of my new Facebook readers shared this with me. It’s the story of a gal named Heather and her adventure building her own 14′ by 24′ home. She’s posted many photos of the process including this one of her after a day of playing with plaster.

I really like the simple design of this small house. In fact it looks similar to the 12×24 house I designed. Kathi’s house is 12×20 and has 12-foot walls. Back in 2007 it took 11 days and cost $8,000 to complete the basic enclosed structure. This home is located in Georgia.

This small house concept has an interesting survivalist spin. It’s a simple hybrid shipping container home that is part container and part octagonal central unit. It’s flexible and can be expanded to meet the needs of multiple residents or kept small.

This is a newcomer to the small green home landscape. It’s a 200 square foot home that is carefully designed to provide space for a family of four. I like the concept and am looking forward to seeing it become a reality.

This is little adobe house in northern New Mexico is a bit bigger than tiny at 700 square feet; but I have a special place in my heart for nice little adobe homes so I wanted to be sure to share it with you this week.

Rina Steen’s Adobe House

Here’s another small house, not tiny, built around two small shipping containers. I like this project particularly because it was done on a frugal budget with lots of DIY sweat equity. The end product is pretty cool too, a mix of funky industrial plus modern cabin.
