Link to my Tiny House

My 195ft^2 house has two floors – the living room/kitchen and a bedroom/bathroom.  On the first floor, I used as little room for a kitchen as possible – it only has a fridge, microwave, oven/stove and a table.  In the corner of the downstairs is a living area in which someone would eat, socialize and watch TV.  On the table in front of the couch, there is a TV that can be removed to make a table for eating.  In the first floor, there is a rather large open area.  In this area, I would add a grand piano and a general music area (that function is not in HomeByMe.  To save space, a spiral staircase was used to go upstairs.

In the upstairs floor, right as you walk out of the stairs, you are greeted by a bathroom wall.  In the bathroom there’s a simple toilet and glass shower.  As you walk out of the bathroom, there is a hammock and a bed.  Under the bed is storage for some items that you might need in short notice.

Ryan’s Tiny House 

My tiny house is designed perfectly to my life style. I love hanging out with friends and my entertainment little home reflects that perfectly. As you as you walk into the house you are most likely to see either the T.V or the foosball table. One might think in a tiny house, there isn’t much to do. In mine there are hours upon hours of entertainment. A flat screen T.V equipped with Netflix, paper view, and hundreds of channels to choose from. I enjoy watching T.V and movies so having one in my house is a big thing. The foosball table is put in more for the enjoyment of others. I will occasionally play a few games with friends. I don’t feel as if a TV is enough for entertainment and I’m sure my guests will enjoy the competitive nature of foosball. One of my favorite features of my tiny house is the kitchen. Not too small and not too large in size. Equipped with a sink (yes I have running water). A stove specially made for pancakes. I absolutely love to make and eat pancakes. The stove is quite large so I will be able to efficiently feed multiple guests pancakes. Despite my love for pancakes they won’t be the only food in the house. I have two large cabinets for the purpose of storing food I wish to cook/ eat. Don’t forget about my microwave and fridge. There also is a beautiful white table with four stools for sitting. This area can be used to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner or sit and watch T.V. Also the stools can slide under the table once unneeded for extra walking space. Next to the kitchen is the bathroom. The bathroom has a toilet and a shower. I plan to take only quick showers and my green toilet has two buttons. One for when a flush only need a little water and the other when it needs more water to flush. Of course I have my bathroom as a separate room for the idea of privacy. After using the restroom one can walk to the sink (conveniently close by) in the kitchen to was his or hers hands. If I’m in a rush a quick and convenient way to make sure I am looking presentable is the mirror next to my door. Also my art piece that reads “My Little Home” brings me comfort. The spiral staircase leads to my bedroom/ office. My bedroom has an office desk with drawers in case I would like to store pencils or paper there. Also I have a power outlet in case I need to change my laptop or phone. Next to the desk is a trashcan for my trash. I have a very comfy bed than can fit two. On either side I have two beautiful plants with an art piece over the bed. Next to the pants there are dressers for objects I would like to store away. I also have shelves for my shoes and a dresser for my clothes. I wanted a lot of natural light so I put three large windows on the sides of my room. I have a small ceiling light overhead. My house have a very modern feel to it. I am a very social and outgoing guy and I don’t like the idea of an isolated tiny house away from everyone. I wish to have people over hence the foosball table, kitchen, and T.V. The only bed I have is in my room upstairs. If the person over doesn’t wish to be in the same bed, then that person is unwelcome to spend the night. I can see myself living in my tiny house only in my bachelor days. Once or if I have a family my tiny house will not be a good fit.

This 12ft by 15ft house is so much more than just a very tiny house. It is a true sanctuary. The small dimensions only add to the beauty and comfort of this home. The first thing that one notices approaching this tiny house is the wonderful wrap around deck. With a enclosing fireplace around the cozy seating area the back section of this deck is the perfect place to lounge and relax after a long day. The fireplace allows this space to be ideal temperature whatever the weather.  The deck also has a hot tub which can be used to soak sore muscles or warm up in the winter. Around the side of the deck are two swinging chairs and a grill for some outdoor cooking and evening chilling. With the trees around and the birds chirping this outside space is a huge part of the appeal of this tiny house.  Entering the house from the deck through the sliding glass doors, which also provide lovely light for the living area, one notices that despite being tiny this house has everything they need without feeling cramped. Directly opposite the sliding doors is the kitchen area and bathroom, both under the loft. The kitchen has a granite sink and counter tops for cooking and cleaning, a stove top, a microwave, a mini fridge, and plenty of cabinets  for storage. I love the grocery store so the small fridge and limited storage won’t be a problem as I will restock frequently. At the end of the kitchen is a small table which seats 4 facing the lovely windows for eating when one can’t or doesn’t want to eat outside. The bathroom is walled off to the side of the kitchen and has everything a bathroom needs. By the stairs to the loft are two bookshelves and two beanbags for some reading relaxing in the open space, with lots of lights. Climbing the stairs one sees the loft bedroom. This is very much a bedroom space with a comfortable bed, nightstand, and dresser/mirror. It also has a washer/dryer for cleaning the clothes which is conveniently right next to the dresser so putting clothes away is so easy. At the end of the bed is a love seat for relaxing and reading or watching netfilx when one doesn’t want to relax in bed. The loft setting  and copious windows give the feeling of lots of space in this room as well as in the rest of the house. Overall this tiny house doesn’t feel tiny at all, cozy perhaps but it gives everything you need and doesn’t have the excess and unused space that often is found in regular houses. The needs in this house are the kitchen, bathroom and bed area. My wants were the reading and relaxing spaces both upstairs, downstairs, and on the porch. Also the pool and hot tub were wants not needs.

My first floor:  300sq ft.

On the base floor of my tiny home, there aren’t many walls. Walking in through the main entrance, one really takes in the grandness of the space. The main area includes a dining table, a rug, and dining chairs. This area would be the place to eat or sit and converse. Looking to the right, one will be able to admire some nice foliage and inspect the kitchen area. The kitchen area is complete with state of the art equipment ranging from a refrigerator to an oven. Looking to the left, one will be able to see the bathroom complete with a sink, shower, and a toilet. Moving forward, there is another plant and stairs leading up to the second floor.

My second floor:  180sq ft.

Once you get up the stairs, you are welcome by one grand space with a sleeping area and a desk with a computer. Opposite the bed, there are two flat screen tv’s faced with 2 chairs and a rug. In the back right corner, there is an air conditioning unit.

Needs:

Toilet, Shower, Sink, Refrigerator, Bed, Air conditioning, Desk, Windows (Light), Dining table

Wants:

TV, Artificial light, Rugs, Hardwood floor, Computer, Speakers, Stairs, Plants, Stove-top, Dishwasher.

This is the second floor of my tiny house. This floor of the tiny house has a bedroom as well as a full bathroom. One of the best features of this floor that there are plenty of windows on every wall, allowing for natural light. Although the house itself is only 14′ by 18′, 3 feet are added in length for a small deck on this floor to allow for a small outdoor space upstairs.

http://home.by.me/en/project/kaelin.rost/tiny-house

this is the ground floor of the house. It is 18′ by 14′ making it about 252 square feet. This floor has a kitchen and living area. The kitchen is complete with a minifrige, sink, microwave, stove/oven, and plenty of cabinets for storage of food and appliances. There is no dishwasher, so all dishes would have to be done by hand, which is a small price to pay for living tiny. The living area has a large sofa that surrounds a table. This is where i would eat. Although not the traditional kitchen table, i would be comfortable eating on the couch. A tv is mounted on the wall for entertainment doubling my eating space as a living space. A spiral staircase is the ideal passage to the second floor because of how compact it is. The staircase is in the corner so the least amount of space of is taken up.

 My First Floor

The first floor is 17’1″ by 13’10” has my living space with a couch and T.V. right behind it is where my center island is which is where I would eat dinner with three island cushion chairs. I have a kitchen with an oven, sink, refrigerator, and cabinets with a big ceiling light so that I only need one light for my kitchen. Also on my first floor is a big bathroom which has a normal toilet and a normal sink with a small light. In the other corner is my stairs and an air conditioner. Over the sink is a window and the front door is a sliding window door.

My Second Floor

The second floor 17’1″ by 13’10” is my bedroom right out of the stairs on one side is my desk  a chair and computer on the other side a laundry room with a washer and dryer. I have a bed in the far corner of the room  with a T.V. in front. Next to the washer and dryer is the bathroom with a sink, normal toilet, and a shower. The lighting in the room involves in the center a large light to light up most of the room, a small light over the desk, a cool light with three different lights over the bed, and in the bathroom one normal sized light. Between the desk and the stairs is an air conditioner and I have a window at my desk and a window behind my bed.

My Tiny House

The moment you walk into my house, you will realize the house is tiny. The house is 17 by 13 feet, so it is 221 square feet, but this does not include the space with the loft. The house is about the size of a large bedroom, but it still has the ability to function like any normal sized house. There is a small entry way between the couch and a small table for keys and other items. Just ahead of the “entry way” there is the kitchen. The Kitchen doesn’t look like much, but it has tons of uses. There is a refrigerator, a stove and oven, a sink that serves as a dishwasher, and a small counter that has storage and a microwave. The kitchen is small, but it is fully functional without being large and extravagant. Now going past the spiral staircase you will see my living room. I have a large sofa, a television mounted on the wall, and a decently large coffee table in front of the couch. Beside from being a living room, the couch and coffee table serve as my dining table. There was no need for another area of the house to serve as a dining room when the living room can serve as both. Now we will move towards the bathroom. The house is only equipped with one bathroom, but it actually quite spacious. It has a large shower, a vanity, and a toilet.

When you go up the spiral staircase you will be entering the loft of my house. The Loft is only 8 and a half feet by 13 feet, so it is only 117 square feet. The loft is open, and it serves as my bedroom and my office. I have a bed, a desk with a computer, and a dresser for all of my clothing. I also have a night stand table next to my bed. If you have been following along you will notice that I do not have a washer and dryer. I will be washing all of my clothes in my sink or at a laundromat depending on how well my doughnut company is doing. This sums up my tiny house.

Needs vs. Wants

My house fulfills all of my needs, and it also has some of my wants. My house provides shelter, a bathroom, a place for food, a place to sleep, a shower, and it also has a all of my clothing. My house also has a desk with a computer and a couch with a television.

Tiny House

For several reasons, including but not limited to a lack of need, lack of want, and to alleviate funding of the project, no second floor has been included in this house.  Hence, no staircase is needed to access said nonexistent second floor.  Upon entering the sliding doors near the right of the house, you’ll immediately be amazed by what you see.  Only the bathroom has a door, the rest of the rooms being separated with openings at the end of the room in an S-like fashion.  This was done to allow air to travel more freely so that less money could be spent on air conditioning and heating, saving money and energy.  Even with this feature, each room contains an air conditioner to maintain maximum comfort at the same time.  In addition, each room is equipped with an overhead light to provide lighting.  Anyways, you’re amazed by what you see as you enter.  Immediately inside the entrance is a living room of sorts, consisting of two chairs and an ottoman bench for the one or two people to rest their feet upon, with a TV in front in order to entertain those resting their bodies and minds in said chairs.  A journey into the next room over will take you into the bedroom, a room living up quite literally to its name.  In the room is a bed and a nightstand with a lamp upon it, a room existing for the sole purpose of sleep, a room dedicated to resting between days.  Venture left into the next room, and you’ll arrive at the kitchen, a place existing for the preparing and consuming of food.  Contained within is a microwave, a sink, a dishwasher, a table for four, and a television.  You may be wondering: “Where is the stove and/or oven!?!?”  Well, inquirer, I do not contain the necessary expertise to operate these devices, so to have one contained within the house in which I reside would be a frivolous waste of money.  Next is the one room that has a door, serving the sole purpose of privacy, is the bathroom.  Rather simple, it contains only a toilet, sink, and shower, making the most of the space that it has.  Making your way back through the rooms to the exit of the house, sliding the glass doors in order to make way for you to exit, you’re thinking throughout the process “I wish I didn’t have to leave.”  You can come back anytime though, so you have nothing to worry about.

Needs

Most of the things in the house are needs, including the entirety of the bathroom, the microwave, and table in the kitchen.

Wants

Both of the TVs are definitely wants, along with the chairs in the living room to sit in while watching them.  In addition having a sink in both the bathroom and kitchen is a want, while only one is really needed.  The dishwasher is a want as well as you could wash dishes by hand.

Link to the live house

This house is 15 by 16 feet. When you first walk into the house there is a spiral staircase. Then there is a living room with a TV, media center, and couch. When you walk out of the dining room you are met with a dining room table. There is not enough room for a whole dining room, but there is a table. Then you have a kitchen that has a sink, dishwasher, wall ovens, stove and refrigerator. There is also a lot of cabinet space in the kitchen. Past the dining room table there is a sliding door to the outside. This leads to the outdoor porch. This has a dining table that has more seats than the one inside. There is a grill and couches and seats around a fire pit (table).

Then you move to the upstairs. To the right there is a washer and dryer. There there is a sliding door to the only bedroom in the house. In the bedroom there is a bed, bedside table, vanity and a lot of storage space for clothes. Then to the right you have a walk in closet. Across from the walk in closet is the only bathroom in the house. In this bathroom there is a bath tub with a shower head, sink and a toilet. That is the tiny house.

Needs:

• Kitchen (refrigerator, stove, microwave, sink)
• Bed
• Somewhere to eat
• Bathroom
• Shower
• drawers

Wants:

• outdoor living area (couches, table, grill)
• walk in closet
• tub (instead of a shower)
• larger dining area
• living room with TV
• kitchen (wall ovens, dish washer)

Link to my Tiny House

My tiny house is 15 x 25 square feet. When you walk through the front door, the open kitchen in on your right. There is a cooling system above the stove, which sucks the heat up and out, so that the steam from the stove doesn’t spread throughout the house. When you walk through the door on the left, there is a small lounging area where you can sit and relax when you are downstairs. Passing the kitchen table, on the left, there is the bathroom with a medium sized shower, toilet and sink which is all beneficial. Next to the bathroom, there is the bedroom which has a large two person bed, an overhanging light and a drawer for clothes. There are a lot of windows in the house which will allow a lot of light to come through, so I don’t have to use a lot of electricity on my lighting. There is a transparent door once you pass the steps that goes to the small patio. On the patio there is a grill and some chairs, so you can go outside for fresh air and still be comfortable.

When you go up to the second floor, you will see that there is a lot of open space. There is a large couch so you can enjoy some alone time there or with others while watching movies. On the top left, there is a washing machine and dryer and a significant amount of windows, so I will not need lighting in that room. I purposefully didn’t put a lot of windows in the living area, so that it reflects a movie room. On the bottom left, there is an office with a desk, cabinet and wall shelf. On the bottom right, there is a storage area and a bookshelf.
