Google Sketchup 3D Tiny House Designs
If you are looking for ideas for your own tiny house, one of the best ways to play with ideas is to start drawing them. Scott Rose one of our readers as well as a contributor to the Tiny House Forum is using the free Google Sketchup to draw 3D images of houses he thinks up himself or he also takes other peoples plans and makes them into a 3D models so he can visualize them himself.
Scott asked me to share with you a few of his designs.
- The first one is Uncle Jon’s Cabin, which is an existing cabin he has seen and photographed. He puts the cabin into perspective for us with his nice renderings.
- The second one is based on circle designs that Scott was intrigued with until he learned about the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company.
- For the third one he decided to play with Jay Shafer’s WeeBee design and has given us a 3D view of it as well.
- The fourth design featured in this post is the Little Cabin based on one of Andy Sheldon’s designs. The cool thing is that it is so much easier to visualize in 3D.

Very nice to be able to see the inside view in 3D. Helps to really understand the space.
The 10 foot circle is something I have though about for a while. I know it’s probably just a concept. But I wonder about the lack of natural light. What about some openings in the roof or a full glass roof?
I have been also thinking about using large precast culverts systems. Anyone on the same thinking path?

I was really taken with these when Scott initially posted them in the forum. Very helpful in visualizing the interiors of these homes. Nice to see you doing a feature post on them.
I love that 10′ Circle design, I would think if you Angled the top toward the Sun (on a 45 degree) you could make it half solar panel half Sky light, very neat! Jon
Very cool. It would be fun to be able to integrate these into Second Life or the Sims and walk through them.
WOW! Really inspires me to play more with Google Sketch-Up. Nice work Scott.
I like seeing the insides of these homes!
Thanks for all the compliments. These all represent my first attempts at houses on sketchup. I can send files to anyone that wishes. scottychop@gmail.com
Cheers,
Scott
Wow Scott your models are really cool!
I trying to use SketchUp on my small house project to. Would you recommend any Tutorials ?
the 10 Foot Circle is really interesting. I just don’t know if there will be someone able to live in it. I mean, I will shut myself if I ever have to.
uncle jon’s cabin: i’m impressed by the “no fuss”, eveything-where-it-should-be design
tumbleweed: simple too, but looks like you get to the john through the kitchen!
little cabin: absolutely packs a punch!
