Friends Create DIY Micro Tiny House Community in France If like me you’ve been wanting to see more tiny house communities come to life you’ll probably really enjoy this post (and the videos below). Because projects like this can serve as a model for any of us to follow or at least learn from to create more tiny living micro communities around the world. I like the idea of independent ‘micro’ communities created by relatively small groups of people who exchange labor with each other to keep building costs low. But if you wanted (or the group wanted) the land could also eventually serve as a learning center, farm, sustainable living learning center, etc. I encourage you to learn how a group of friends and fellow carpenters built this micro community using very little money and their own labor in a fairy tale forest setting in France: Video: Whimsical Off-Grid Tiny Housing in France Original story.

Bytte storstadsstressen mot vagn i Skattungbyn – Då var jag snickare och levde Svenssonliv med tjej, hund och pendlade till jobbet. Det var jobba, jobba, jobba. Det kändes inte så tillfredställande, nåt saknades, men det var svårt att sätta ord på vad det var, säger Markus Skoog. Markus fick då upp ögonen för en utbildning i självhushållning i Skattungbyn norr om Orsa. Vagn lösningen på bostadsbristen Men bostadshetsen följde med honom, för ända sedan folkhögskolan i Mora startade utbildning i självhushållning i Skattungbyn på 70-talet, har byn lidit av bostadsbrist. – Att jag byggde det här huset var ju att det inte fanns nånstans att bo i byn. ”Mycket mer tillfredsställelse” Hans 17 kvadarmeter stora vagn står uppställd på en gård i byn där han lever tillsammans med andra som delar hans sätt att leva. – Det här livet har gett mig mycket mer tillfredsställelse i tillvaron och med mig själv.

This Tiny House Community Feels Like Living In A Small Village This tiny house community in Bend, Oregon looks like the perfect place to live. The community was designed by Jesse Russel from Hiatus Homes and is a small village comprised of 22 homes. The houses resemble vacation homes but can be used as a permanent residence and they are connected by pathways and shared common spaces such as planters, ponds, and fire pits. The village is a self-sufficient one, as each home has a solar panel installed on top of it and there is even a bike garage to encourage a healthy lifestyle.

Tiny houses in Kansas City give homeless veterans a place to call home A few homeless people can now have a small, but cozy home in Kansas City where veterans who lost their homes have moved into tiny houses. Recent research conducted by the Department of Housing and Human Development has brought a grim reality to the attention of Americans, namely that more than 37,000 veterans are homeless in the US. From these, around 22,000 are living in shelters that do not represent a forever home for them. When trying to come up with a solution to this pressing problem, a nonprofit group called The Veterans Community Project (VCP) in Kansas City, decided to provide as many tiny homes to veterans as they can. The nonprofit was founded by Bryan Meyers a former US Marine corporal, who knows a lot about the problems veterans are facing once they return to their home country. Marine veteran Bryan Meyer is the CEO and co-founder of Veterans Community Project. “We just took the mentality, and it’s a very kind of military mentality, that we are going to figure this out.
