The Shepherd’s Rest
The Shepherd’s Rest, located in the UK, builds shepherds huts similar to those that were used for centuries in rural England. These are built with new materials and to a very high level of quality.
Ecospace – Extreme Tiny House Luxury
Here’s a tiny house for those who crave luxury and have the money to afford it. It costs about $55,000 and features a green roof, SIP (structural insulated panel) construction, and environmentally friendly building materials. Ecospace is located in London.
Cove Park
This is an excellent example of how the industrial character of shipping containers can be subdued by a natural setting, and a little dirt sprinkled on top… ha-ha. This is Cove Park in Scotland.
Ecospace Workpod
Very nice little backyard home office built by Ecospace available in the UK. It features a nice modern design, ample insulation, double glazed glass windows, and fairly quick setup.
Shed Plays Role in Saving Lives
Here’s a great story about a shed serving as an intermediate care unit for homeless in Clapham, London. It was setup by nurse practitioner Samantha Dorney-Smith. The services they are providing are already saving lives and reducing emergency calls and hospitalizations.
Old English Ruins
One of my regular readers ran across this fantastic photo album of old English ruins. Many of the photos are of very large structures but tucked here and there are some incredible tiny huts and cottages. Thanks again Dav!
Jay’s Tiny House – Restart
Justin Peer began building his tiny house last spring/summer. But he ran into trouble with the used trailer he was using which caused him to put his project on hold. No after a break Justin is preparing to jump back in and start again with a longer custom built trailer.
sipsFORM Sustainable Buildings
There are some easy to build, sustainable, and small structures coming out of the UK. They are built from structural insulated panels and you can see several of their designs on the sipsFORM website.
Nick Weston’s Treehouse
This is Nick Weston’s home in West Sussex. It’s an experiment in sustainable living, a cozy tree house, and the simple life of a modern hunter-gatherer. Read about Nick’s adventures on his blog at huntergathercook.typepad.com.
Shepherd’s Hut
I really like the classic style of these Shepherd huts. They are available in the UK from Artisan Shepherd Huts. While they tend to be a bit on the expensive side their quality it really top notch and would make a great home office.
