But these creative and practical folk have proven that you don’t need tons of space to live happily or comfortably! In fact, small spaces can be a good thing for more reasons than one. They can help save on energy bills, they’re cost-effective to build, and they’re individually suited to the needs and tastes of each individual homeowner. The tiny house movement has been growing steadily over the past years as it’s received increasing media coverage.

What began as a countermovement against oversized American living has transformed into a supportive global community. Please SHARE these incredible tiny homes with all of your friends! 1.

I-BEAM DESIGN + ARCHITECTURE

These people needed an immediate alternative to the typical tent solution that could potentially transform into a new permanent home over time, even without access to sophisticated tools and materials. It has since become our aim to also develop the project as a more permanent housing solution to serve not only refugees in disaster stricken areas but also as a modular, prefabricated solution to affordable housing everywhere that can improve people's lives, the environment, society and even inspire greater diplomacy among the various cultures of the world. The Pallet House is an inexpensive, efficient and easily realizable solution to the problem of housing people displaced by natural disaster, plagues, famine, political and economic strife or war. The Pallet House is made of wooden shipping pallets. Photos by Peter Miller. Build A Tiny House - TinyHouseBuild.com.

Shelter: Bed Sized Home. Dave Frazee’s bed-sized shelter in the Arizona desert does everything Wright. 07.28.13 | By: David Ethier It would be disingenuous to say that Dave Frazee was just like every other student seeking a postgraduate degree.

Shelter: Bed Sized Home

Attending Taliesin, the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Frazee was given the option of living in a room on campus, living in a tent out in the desert, or building his own shelter. He opted for the latter. For the school, it’s an opportunity to get the students to become users of their own designs, learning how to effectively integrate structure and place.

Wright himself lived in a tent-like structure as he was building Taliesin West, thus the option for students to do the same. Built upon an already existing concrete pad and chimney, the dwelling earned the name, Miner’s Shelter. The interior, despite its size, reveals a fair amount of thoughtful planning. As for the exterior, Frazee did his best to mitigate negative weather conditions. The Small House Movement is Here to Stay! The Small House Movement is Here to Stay!

The Small House Movement is Here to Stay!

Oh ye of the interior designer mind-set, as much as we love our collections, our stuff, our large spaces, there is something (actually a lot) to be said for the small house movement. This doesn’t mean the trend is for everyone to move into a 420 square foot apartment in Soho (like in the unbelievable video below), but the information here might give you: pause for thoughtideas for making better use of your existing spacegreat plans for a small apartment or home that you or the kids would love and could afford easilyor this might be your answer for that extra ‘guest house’ or office you need.
