15 Terrific Tiny House Projects of 2011

By archives on Dec. 26, 2011 | Topics: Lists, Single Family | 8 Comments

I’ve seen the tiny house thrive in 2011 like none other. People behind these structures — whether a tiny home, shed, backyard office, ADU, or off-season retreat — seem to have a little Thoreau inside. Nonetheless, please keep this in mind: only about 5% of the population would ever dream to live in a tiny house. Is this for you? Here’s a little round up of the built projects that we covered in 2011, in no particular order. Click the text below for more and use your tabs for hours of reading.

Great fun reading the blog this year and allways many surprises. I had to pass on the Sunset Cabin though- all that glass way up north in such a small place. Disaster. Easy to kvetch but enjoyed all (most) of the projects.

I’d like to see something that is physically accessible – as many seniors and people with disability could benefit from green affordable accessible . More with raised garden areas too. Grow more own and less nature need to be cleared for the earth’s expanding population and helps those who live in poverty due to disability.

It is so awesome to see these kinds of houses popping up. The Sunset Cabin on the Lake is my favorite. Not sure if its the design or the surrounding area lol!
