Jason’s Molecule Tiny Homes

by Kent Griswold on May 13th, 2012. 21 Comments

I featured Jason’s first Molecule tiny house a while back and Jason has been very busy designing and building more tiny homes. I thought you might enjoy an update.

Built this year, all new construction. This tiny house is 8 ft. 6 in. wide by 20 ft. long by 13 ft. 5 in. high. Including the porch and lofts it is approximately 260 square feet. It has has two sleeping lofts, one 8 ft. by 6 ft., and one 8 ft. by 3ft. The house is built on a new 12,000 lbs rated trailer, and can be towed anywhere.

The home features a full kitchen, including three burner range and oven, and a full bathroom with shower and tub. A fold down 4 ft. by 8 ft. deck, on demand water heater, double paned windows, and full insulation round out the house. Vaulted knotty pine ceilings with ceiling fan and overhead light brightens the whole house. Tough Pergo floors complement the living space. The house has all the necessary conveniences of a much larger home, despite its small size.

Pine Hollow Log Homes

by Christina Nellemann on June 22nd, 2009. 5 Comments

On my road trip to the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park, I had to stop and take some photos of this darling little log home just outside of Cedar City, Utah. The Mini Pine Hollow log home by Pine Hollow Log Homes is 11 by 16 feet with a full loft and a 4 by 16 foot covered deck.

Pine Hollow offers this tiny cabin as a kit and will deliver it within 250 miles of Cedar City. It takes about two weeks to have a kit delivered. This particular home was unfinished inside, but the Pine Hollow website should have updated photos of the Mini log home soon.
