Thanks Kevin. Good point about the historical homes. Old adobes in New Mexico are like that too, almost like adobe shotguns and a close cousin of the Spanish and French colonials. It would be interesting to do a design based on that model/aesthetic.

Narrow designs like this remind me of the early urban Spanish and French colonials where every internal room has its own external door. To move between rooms you walk outside through a porch or alley. There are some pros and cons, but the relevant one is that you don’t have to eat up interior space on corridors or passageways.

I like how you concealed the wheels with the porch. I also wonder about covering wheels with a flower box under a window that extends to the ground.

Your tiny home segment was seen on evening news…Fantastic designs…badly needed in the suburbs of B>C> How nice it would be to have a gated community of these tiny homes…would be a complete sellout in 1 day !!!!
