Shelter Kit – Loft Houses

I personally love the way these kit houses look. They are simple post and beam kits that come pre-cut, pre-drilled, and designed to be assembled by two inexperienced people. An easy to understand construction manual comes with the kit as well as all the lumber, hardware, flooring, siding, roofing, trim, doors, and windows. Interior trimmings are not included. They are also packaged to be easier to deliver to remote properties.

One of the best aspects of this kit system is that the owner can pick the modules they need, providing a way to personalize the kit. They also have kit porches and decks that add onto the modules. Shelter-Kit Incorporated is located in Tilton, New Hampshire. They do not provide financing but I can’t imagine it would be too hard to find a construction loan and traditional financing. Shelter-Kit also sells smaller and larger kit house. See the Shelter-Kit website for more information.

    Since you seem to be listing some nice other small homes. Check these out:

    A genuine hobbit hole, in Wales, England. Some very beautiful shots.

    While not a “tiny” home, the Solar Haven is a great example of a do-it-yourself eco-homestead. Every step and decision is carefully thought out and documented, from building a straw-bale home, installing a radiant floor heating system, choosing and installing both solar electric and hot water systems, and dealing with irate neighbors.
