Some other reasons include environmental friendliness, simplicity of living, and mobility . If the property is vacant land, you may install up to two Tiny Homes on foundations; one would be considered the main dwelling and the second as the ADU. Again, 5 acres or greater and the ADU must be located within 100 feet of the main house with utility hook ups.
Below you are able to see the drawers that line all the way under the refrigerator to the front door. This small platform doesn’t limit space in the home but adds room for more storage. I love this for shoes, but can imagine it being used for any number of items. One thing to keep in mind is that they do not raise up with you in the bed, they stay down until you wake up and raise the bed up out of the way to free up living room space. We found an antique Westinghouse desk fan that I was able to convert into a ceiling fan, centered above the entry.

Outside the home are other elements well worth mentioning. Not only does the home have reclaimed wood siding, but some ombre colored siding that just adds a fun whimsical look to the home. This collage shows the small bench as well as the stool that slips underneath when not in use.
The undulating roof line, for example, recalls a flowing river, while the blue gradient on the back wall recreates the shifting blues of the Colorado sky. "The sun-ray pattern pays homage to the Colorado sun—we have 300+ days of sunshine per year—and the portholes mimic the stars in the desert sky," says Greg. The living area is under the sleeping loft, which is actually an elevator bed.

We have it fully extended for dining mode for up to three, halfway in for laptop mode, or all the way in when we want to free up some space in the living room. Many firms offer Tiny Home Kits that assist you in the construction of your own home which in my opinion is further evidence of no formal standards. To someone that has been in the real estate and construction industries since 1978, the check lists offered by the service providers on the various websites are frightening to read. At least under the electrical portion of the check list, they highly recommended the use of a professional. As many Counties have yet to address building codes for these homes, it feels a little lawless out there. Smart design and the clever use of space makes a difference between feeling cozy and crowded.
This model has come to be our absolute favorite tiny house fridge! Next to the fridge is a double pull out pantry for dry food storage. The custom-made furnishings were built using reclaimed wood. The San Juan Tiny House measures 24 ft (7.3 m)-long and is mostly made from reclaimed materials. Structurally, it consists of SIPs and is finished in barn wood, corrugated iron and cedar shakes painted in shades of blue.

We include two sample floor plans though the space is flexible and can be arranged to fit your needs. The finished size of our standard tiny timber frame is 11’ 3” x 19’ 3” with 8’ walls. You can easily expand your structure up to 12’ x 30’ in size by adding additional bents.
Having lived here nearly 8 years, I have explored my fair share of this pristine land, but feel like I have just touched the tip of the iceberg. I’m always blown away at the awesomeness of this place I get to call home. The bed is an elevator bed that works with on a pulley system.
For starters, this is my new personal tiny house, shared with my amazing wife Stephanie, and our two furballs ,Rocco and Jade. We were living in the 16′ Durango model that I first built in Spring of 2013, and although it met basic living needs and was dirt cheap for our first two years together, it was just a little cramped for that many occupants. We knew at some point we would design and build a larger tiny house. In between build #1 and #62, we learned a thing or two about tiny house design, and attempted to integrate as many of these lessons into the design goals as possible.
We planned for short term shoe storage under the overhang of the tiled woodstove hearth. Underneath the hearth is plenty of room for firewood storage. The cabinets were all built in house to accommodate the custom features and functions we desired.

We decided to go with as much reclaimed material as possible, mostly because I had a ton of such material already laying around at the shop! We work with reclaimed corrugated and barnwood all the time, so these two were a no brainer. The tin makes up a 36″ wainscot on the front, driver side, and most of the passenger side. On the driver side, we then added a row of barnwood to match window heights, and stained cedar shakes leftover from old projects up above. I have saved this name for the right build ever since opening shop back in early 2013.
“Recreational vehicle park” means a commercially developed tract of land on which two or more recreational vehicle sites are established as the principal use of the land. Wildwood Lakefront Cottages also offers the Salish, Whidbey, and Bellevue from West Coast Homes, and the Wedge and Caboose models from Wheelhaus. The galley kitchen includes a full size dishwasher, freestanding range, and a French door refrigerator. The San Juan has a spacious living area with fireplace and large windows that overlook the lake. Larger than some, with a sloping roofline looking like a mountain range, the San Juan is truly a perfect tiny home for a family of adventurers.
This required us to buy a more expensive inverter with 220v output, but sometimes you have to spend a little money up front to save it down the line. This house was designed to be fully off grid since we had no idea where it would eventually end up. There are two 360 Watt solar panels fixed to the house that double as our porch awning. The back 12′ of the house has a 3 1/2″ recessed pocket on the passenger side that the awning and aluminum deck fold into for travel. This way they don’t stick out past out 8′-6″ width limitation. The bathroom is separated from the kitchen by our closet area.
However, this couple used this space more for storage and relaxation during the day and only pull out the bed when needed at night. While not the prettiest view, this gives you a better idea of what all can be stored in this space, and how nice it is to have the drawers pull out so you can easily access everything no matter how far back in the cabinet it is. Plus, you can see a standard ladder for getting up to the loft space can be put out of the way when not in use or down as shown when needed.
Just inside the front door, you are welcomed by cozy and dual-purpose living space. In here is a built-in bench sofa with storage beneath and of course, the elevator bed above easily pulls down with a simple pulley against the wall. The large round window is a showpiece that is functional for sunlight but also a beautiful addition that just brings the whimsical style to life. This is where the vee nose and sloped walls really allowed us to maximize space over a square and plumb endwall. It took Steph 3 days to lay the $80 worth of pennies and another two to pour the epoxy, but it turned out amazing!
