I would love to see more photos of these homes not enough on the website.

I love his concept; it’s basically a “reverse loft”! I too have to get up in th middle of the nite to go to the bathroom & would not want to have to go up & down a ladder (regardless of having to pee or not) I prefer stairs…I’m gonna get some legos & build a model & try to figure out how he has it done! I LOVE the clever use of space for storage (steps are shelves, the bathroom is the shower, etc.) I find that now my kids are grown & gone, I do little in the kitchen, sit on a recliner to watch the boob toob, use my netbook on my lap & then go to sleep, so if I condensed the areas of my house that I REALLY USE, I’d get a teeny bedroom, a bathroom, a teeny kitchen & a sitting area. This certainly gives you less to clean, furnish, heat & cool & w/ the $$ you save, you can travel, eat out, afford a good gym membership, etc!!!

He does not post the floorplans for one simple reason; Theft!! It is done all around the world. Lets say I design a special type of chair that folds to become briefe case sized. Proud of my work I put the concept art and measurements up on the internet. Within weeks I will see some shoddy upstart company in China or Mexico making the chairs and claiming its their design. I would also like to see a floorplan but I understand James reason for keeping it secret. So instead of a floorplan can we get a walkthrough tour of the home on the main site or on TWELVE3s facebook page?

Very clever design and is one more “proof-of-concept” for the tiny house idea, of which I have recently become enamored. I wish the builder much success in selling these plans.

On a side note, that exterior photo is scary. Never start a fire without raking all those leaves away first! Great way to set one’s treasured home ablaze.

Wow! Great place! I especially love the concept of stairs instead of a ladder to get to the sleeping area.

The floor to the kitchen area folds up into the wall… literally. The bed is under the kitchen I’m guessing with around 4- 4 1/2 feet clearance (so if your bed is 1 foot off the ground then you have 3 feet of space before you hit your head.) There is a storage area for a washer/dryer or just stuff. See a floorplan at http://tinyhousedesign.weebly.com/

The initial exterior image does not match with the interior images.

A tub is 3′ x 5′ and a toilet is 2′ x 2′ – the bathroom is too wide to fit anywhere other than on the right of the doorway.

One of the interior images shows a staircase and window to the right of the doorway. The window is not shown in the initial image.

Plus he said he ended up having to build a 10′ x 10′ house without a permit.

Maybe this is why the floor plan is such a mystery…

Looking at these intriguing photographs of of odd-shaped spaces with no plans available presents an irresistable challenge to this puzzle-solver! Tell me if I’ve got this right:

Entering in the front, up 3 steps to the right leads to a small (4′x 4′) landing with a large window which with a tiny table could be a dining nook. Up a few more steps to the left leads to the kitchen occupying the northeast corner of the cube (assuming the main entrance to be oriented southward). Turning left again and up some more steps leads up into the study loft with a generous desk high at the northwest corner and deep storage closets on the left above the entrance hall. If you are clever, you may have taken some of the available floor space from the study to provide additional counter- or table-space for the kitchen, but this doesn’t show in any of the photos.

Back to the entrance, going straight ahead leads to the bedroom below the study loft, with the bed to the right tucked under the kitchen floor, and the bathroom to the left with its generously high ceiling for tall showers made possible by the space under the desk above.

It’s odd how he dances around the requests for a floor plan!?!?
