No space to waste!
It seems you’ve come a long way, tiny homes! The Best Tiny Home Builders in the US includes all 50 states, noting that some offer a lot more options than others. Here, a tiny home is 500 square feet or less. The publisher, Home Builder Digest, covers custom homes of all sizes. The site includes lots of priced-out detail about home-building costs. I haven’t yet checked it all out.
Tiny House Listings and Tiny House Marketplace are two well-designed web sites that let you browse listings of tiny houses for sale and rent. (I haven’t been through either of them extensively, and there are quite likely other sites offering a similar service, so I’ll keep this post updated!)
Wow, this cool woman really lays it out in an unignorably straight-up style. Under $3,500, huh?! Um…inspiring.
Tiny Free House says: “I’m embarking on a little experiment. I’m going to build a tiny house that’s cross between Henry David Thoreau’s cabin at Walden Pond and a Tumbleweed-like Tiny House on wheels.” Pallet construction can be nearly FREE!
Tons and tons of impressively slick, green, expensive, clever takes on tiny living spaces… I’m spending hours going through the Architecture archive at MoCo Loco: The Modern Contemporary Design Blog, where high design and compact prefab homes are a central feature. In the pic, the K3 Modernist 9’x13′ prefab module from kitHAUS, installed at Big Sur, California. It’s pricey, starting at US$29,500 per unit (that’s 117 sq ft at around $250 per…), pretty typical of the cost of designer tiny homes. $250 sq ft is definitely not in the budget for this round… Still, lots of ideas and eyecandy—it’s all cool!
