I came across this website about a different type of tiny home -larger than your typical tiny home on wheels. They are bigger and cost a lot less. They are an evolving project among architecture students and cost less than $20,000 to build. Here is the link to the website for this project:
Like tiny homes, they face the same dilemmas of zoning, ability to obtain a mortgage, and acceptance of construction methods by city planners. I must say these look attractive and I even think I could live in one. A lot of people who want to minimize their carbon footprint and obtain affordable housing are attracted to these and tiny homes, but the question I ask is what tiny homes and these structures will look like in 20-30 years, particularly if they are in a community setting and if they will still have appeal 20-30 years from now. These smaller structures would fit in nicely in mountain towns like cabins in a forest, but I can't quite picture them in an urban environment unless they had a sheltered area that was made to look rural. Anyway, these creative ideas are interesting and the title caught my attention. I could definitely picture them in a few places in Deschutes County, Oregon where I live. Could be an interesting affordable co-housing type community too.
