If you’ve discovered our forum, TinyHouseForum.com, you may have seen these designs by Scott. I wanted to post them here because it was a very clever solution for someone wanting to build a house from concrete storm drain pipe. I’m not sure that’s what Scott had in mind but his solution seems like the perfect solution for a tiny concrete home. Scott uses Google SketchUp to created these drawings. Image credit to Scott.
This is awesome, I love it. That looks like it would be very small.
I like the design but I think you need to change the design about the green chair, spinning chair, and a little plan.
I love this. I admit, I’d lose the ‘breakfast bar and stool’ and think long and hard about the rest… but I do love it. Oh: I’m a security freak; right now I’m on the 2nd floor in an apartment, have had 4 attempted break ins in 2 months & that makes life really hard. I always picture my small home – be it Tumbleweed or Tortoise: you name it- reconfigured with clerestory windows across the main floor instead of larger ones and no way can I have a glass door. I’d be sleeping in a loft that I’d pull the ladder up behind me, too. Sad, all that. But: live and learn I suppose.
I agree about losing the breakfast bar and stool. I would move the microwave above the sink to free up counter space. Then I would add another support somehow and extend the upper level to the left. This would allow the addition of some lft type storage for clothing and also a hanging area below for a wall mounted TV and a coat hook.
Clever,
Two things I foresee as a problem, moisture and moisture and insulation. I’m seeing this as a mold incubation unit unless these factors are addressed. And what would be the best way to address them? Ventilation, moisture barrier, insulation type?
I would also add a skylight as it doesn’t seem possible to have windows after the drainpipe is already formed.
Lovely piece of art . just wana add a railbar on the selfing which is used as stairs and also add another stairs to the roof top from the bed . some nice nice chairs and table on roof top grass.
concrete drainage pipes are easy to cut holes for windows etc. All you need is a petrol powered disc cutter.
