Micro homes are really starting to be a trend. It's a whole movement of having a minimal lifestyle and living small. Some are used just for travelling, others for living.
From Left to Right: Tumbleweed House "Elmy", Tiny Heirloom "Victorian in Indianapolis", and Escape Traveler "Traveler" House.
We designed a version in partnership with Niklas Group. Our designs are just as warm and welcoming as some of the tiny-houses' predecessors, but we've added a modern twist!

Our intent was to use vernacular house shapes for these little 170 square foot homes, by having pitched roofs and cladding the exterior with blonde cedar. Lots of glazing was used to bring in the outdoors and make the interior feel spacious. One feature we really love is the ribbon of glazing that extends from floor-to-ceiling on one side and then becomes a skylight on both sides of the roof pitch and finally comes down to the kitchen counter!

These houses are designed to be assembled off-site, then pulled like a trailer to a location out in the wild! How lovely and wonderful would it be to have a little, portable, mini-cabin! We designed two versions, one that can accommodate two people and another for as many as six (which is 317 square feet!)
