Tiny House Blog

Per request, I have started a new page above called the Tiny House Landscape. This page pulls all the Tiny House in a Landscape posts together and you can now easily page back through them and find your favorite one.

This weeks Tiny House in a Landscape, I believe it is Stabbur in Norway (photo sent in by a reader). Someone recently sent me a bunch of links to these Stabbur homes similar to this and although I’ve currently misplaced the email, I plan to find it and do a complete post on this type of structure built in Norway. If you are familiar with the photographer please let me know so that I can give the person full credit.

This may not be a true tiny house but I guess that is not to out of the ordinary for some of our Tiny House in a Landscape posts. The idea is to get you dreaming and your imaginations flowing.

This thatched roof getaway looks like a place to relax and take in your surroundings and enjoy the outdoors. A place to enjoy some peace and quiet and some companionship. I think I could relax here without any problem. How about you?

John Chapman who’s idea it was to start the “Tiny House in a Landscape” feature recently sent me this photo which just happens to be taken in New Zealand.

I wish the photo was larger but it is a neat shot of an old tiny building with beautifully textured painted walls beside some old tracks. Probably some type of storage building but I think it could be turned into a cute little house.

Thanks Russ for the information on Peter Kurdulija who took this photograph. You can view more of his photos here. I am going to get in touch with him and get permission to use it. I am out of town again with limited internet access so will do it as soon as I can.

For the last week and a half I had the joy of spending time with my wife and two kids on Kauai, one of the most beautiful islands of Hawaii. It was my first time to Hawaii and we had a wonderful time.

While in Kauai I looked for tiny houses and was a little surprised that I did not see more. My best shot of the tiny houses I did locate is shown below. It is actually a cabin on a Christian school that is called Kahili Mountain Park where they rent cabins to visitors to the island. You can learn more about Kahili Mountain Park by visiting there website.

This weeks Tiny House in a Landscape are V Houses located in Portugal. I wanted something tropical and this was the best I could do for right now.  I actually took a great picture yesterday on our vacation but am unable to upload it on this computer so it will have to wait until next week when I am home. In the mean time enjoy these interesting houses. I like the A frame design with the natural straw roofs. What do you think?

As most of you know log construction has been my favorite type of cabin construction and it is hard for me not put up some type of log building in the Tiny House in a Landscape feature every now and than. This cool little log shed that Rene sent me recently just had to go up this week and I hope you like it too.

I of course enjoy other types of construction and next week it will be something completely different.
