Denmark Tiny House Conversion

Chris recently emailed me about a shed conversion his dad made in Denmark and he wanted to share pictures and tell us more about it:

My dad in Denmark recently converted a shed he originally built for his tools into a ‘real’ tiny house, complete with insulation and electricity. No plumbing though.

It contains a sofa bed, two Ikea chairs, two tables and two paintings my dad also did. This could also make for a nice office shed.

Here’s some more info:

Size is about 2,70m x 3,30m to keep below 10 square meters, which is the largest size you can build in Denmark without a permit.
Price was around 17,000 Danish Kroner (around $3,275 USD) – my dad did all the work himself though (except some of the electricity) and some materials he got for free (lofts, insulation, some metal stuff etc.) due to his connections in the construction business. The biggest expenses were the floor and the square window.
He made the upper row of windows himself.

Thanks Chris for sharing this neat project. If you have an old shed in your back yard maybe it has potential for a tiny house too.

Reclaimed Studio Shed

by Kent Griswold on June 15th, 2009. 4 Comments

Joseph Sandy from Petaluma, California just sent me an email about a project he just completed. I thought you would enjoy it as well.

An 8×10’ studio/shed built in Petaluma, CA. It features rain-screen siding of reclaimed redwood fencing. A polycarbonate clearstory provides ample light for any use. The interior walls are plywood and pegboard to provide a finished appearance with flexible use/storage options.

Joseph grew up amongst the redwoods and farms of Sonoma County, California. His long-standing passion for building and design led him to the University of California at Berkeley where he graduated with a BA in architecture in 2004.

You can visit Joseph’s website to see more of his work. Joseph is currently working on a tiny house plan based off of this project and will share that with us when he completes it.
