Hi Liesl,

I should take this design a little further… it was a very popular concept. I’d never considered it for a second floor or with a basement but good thinking.

Love it! We are a family of six and a dog. I love the flexibility of the home. We would love a version of this where the bathroom has 2 sinks and possible a little mudroom laundry area for all the backpacks and dog gear. I realize this was posted almost 2 years ago but would still love to see your further designs. Also I think yo mention a basement for storage? Where would the stairs go?

I’ve lived for a few months in a room with a movable wall and I found that it just didn’t give any real privacy when it came to sound. I’m sure something could be done with higher tech materials and the ability to seal it around the edges but I suspect that it would be relatively tricky and expensive to get them near as sound proof as a built in wall.

I love this one! I have three kids and I find the idea of living in a small home fascinating. I love this one, especially the flexibilty of space. There is more privacy in this one than in others I [‘ve seen, but less storage…. maybe taht is something to look at? Also, a family of five probably needs more kitchen space.

This is as nice as any I have seen, and I have been looking at tiny house plans and drawing them for years.

As for the issue of where to put the “stuff”, I envision a full basement with wall to wall to wall storage racks with each person’s name on it.

I will be building in Florida on 17 foot stilts next year, and that will allow me to duplicate the floor space below the main floor and still 8 feet off the ground. That part of the construction must be “break away” for storm surge issues, but still is quite functional in that climate.

Thanks again for a great creative concept. Where are parts 1 and 2 located?

OK… so last night was spent drawing a revised plan for the tiny free house. I will draw the updates on this design soon… and answer the EJ Challenge!
