Oregon Cottage Company, LLC
The chic little cottage in architect/builder Todd Miller’s yard has hand-stained, locally milled cedar siding, a striking forest-green metal roof and wood-framed windows designed for energy efficiency. Inside it’s a “green” and teensy 140-square-foot model of efficiency with designated areas for showering, cooking, relaxing and sleeping.
“I have a lot of interests as far as building in an alternative way, in a different way, and thinking outside the box,” says Miller, who has been certified as an architect since 1996.
Oregon Cottage Company, LLC is based in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Todd Miller foresees people ordering models based on the prototype, but with modifications meant to suit their particular needs.
“Right now we’re trying to get a feeling of what people want,” Miller says.
Some options, Todd says, are to use the cottages as art studio, guest house, office, kids’ clubhouse — or even a pint-size home for someone wanting to live simply. Though on wheels, Miller expects future owners to camouflage that with a skirt or shrubbery.

This little place is exquisite! I love his other designs as well. I would love to see more photos of a sleeping area.
Ooooh! Wow! I want it! : -)
This looks pretty cute. Nice open layout. Looks like it could be good competition with the Tumbleweeds and Tourtise Shell companies (with others of course).

How does the toilet/bathroom work due to sewage?
Do you have to go to a trailer park….can someone explain? Thanks!

This one I believe is set up like a standard toilet, so you would need to hook up to a sewer system. You can have them built like an RV and have to dump them at a dump station also.
