tiny house site ? - DoryGray - 07-26-2011
A while back, someone posted a url for tiny 1 person houses. The guy had 3 designs, I don't even think you could stand up in them. I searched & can't find it, does anyone remember?

There are also a number of books & websites on the tiny house movement

To be sure, the present definition of a house or apartment is larger than necessary and is one of those things that must change as sustainability becomes mandatory. However I think that a house that you can't stand up in is too small. Indigenous people the world over build larger structures. Even many igloos are built larger than some of the extreme small houses such as the one shown in the link above.

Mahalo Nui Loa, that was the one.

Dory, if you are interested in the tiny house movement, you may want to google tiny house & also try Tumbleweed...
I remember in the '70s thinking these were so cool in the "Whole Earth Catalog"...

That guy was profiled in last week's New Yorker. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/07/25/110725fa_fact_wilkinson
He is making out very well, even though he has only sold 16 actual houses. He makes money off his books and off of the plans.

Life goes on, with you or without you.

I like small houses (maybe not that small as that guys house) but I dont need 2500 SF at this point in my life. Who wants to clean it when you could be snorkeling instead?
Our biggest SF is going to be our deck with the "extreme outdoor BBQ area" because we like to entertain and BBQ more than being stuck in the kitchen.
