Michael Janzen of the Tiny House Design blog and Tiny Free House also is working on a concept design called Nine Tiny Feet. Recently, he has been playing with Google Sketchup to develop his idea further.

Michael says: The design includes all the main elements that make up a house. Only the shell is represented in this 3D drawing but the final house would have a toilet, sink, 12VDC cooler, propane heater, bed, chair, fold-down table, and storage. I came up with the size by asking myself how what the absolute minimum amount of space would be needed for someone to live.

Since I like a design challenge I then asked myself If I’d need anymore space and quickly came up with a couple ways of cramming all essential items into nine square feet. The design you see here is the result of trying a few other ideas.

Michael has several projects in the works, so I’m not sure when we will see the finished project. I for one am really looking forward to see this completed and will keep everyone posted when it happens.
