I like the unique design but one can only imagine trying to tow this to a different location.
Very cute! Though it looks like it doesn’t have a bathroom.
Really the only thing I don’t like about it is the “cock-eyed” window in the door. It would be hard to install a curtain or other window covering on it. Maybe a person could get glass paint and do a faux stained glass effect or something. Still… at times you may want the privacy or even shade a window treatment provides. Otherwise, I think it’s great! Good luck on your new business, and please don’t get all greedy like that other Texas guy!
Try frosted contact plastic “paper” for a quick and easy privacy screen. they also have rolls of frosted plastic contact paper in the kitchen supplies section of most grocery stores or places like Wall-Mart. I have a gallery of glass windows in my utility room that faces a next door neighbor. For both of our sakes, I got a big roll of contact plastic, cut it to pane size and installed with a spray water bottle and a squeegee. Perfect! And if I sell the house, all I have to do is grab a corner and pull to remove it from each window pane.
Something about this design makes me think that if there was a strong wind, it would be top heavy enough to pivot on the axel and tip towards the front door.
I do like the askew window on the front door.
Someone please straighten that window!!!!!!
It look heavy and with a high center of gravity…
First thing I thought of is having to haul that tall heavy thing on a single axel trailer. Has some nice features – I like the knotty pine and the rustic sticks for shelf brackets. Would put in a solid door, no glass.
“We are a group of artists, engineers, craftsmen and women with a desire to create the imagined real;”…….I would consider finding a different engineer. I don’t think that will corner well when pulling it to your site. I think it needs some training wheels.
p.s. i like the cockeyed door glass.
Gee, I didn’t know “women” were different from craftsmen and artists. Hmmm. Replace “women” with “men” and you’ll see how silly that is.
I like the window in the door!
Interesting casita, though it jumps out at me as being top-heavy. And the very odd window in the front door sho ain’t my cup of tea, Sugah. Other than that, a very interesting, attractive little place. I look forward to viewing your company’s future structures. Best of luck to U all.
ps: I love the goat in the photo…. unexpected country charm. And how I do envy U-all living on beautiful Vancouver Island.
very nice, interior design
As a recovering OCD person, this post just set me back….THE DOOR…OMG THE DOOR!!!! And let’s not even talk about the railing!!!!
Other than that…cool beans.
Hi,
I have admired the beatuiful and creative designs of these tiny houses for ages. However, it occured to me, if it is OK with the original designers of the Tipi, why not make a Tipi( Teepee). It would use a lot less materials, could be fashioned from sustainable materials. Additionally, perhaps buy or rent some land and grow trees and vegetable using the permaculture method (an Australian concept). It would be good for you ,good for your neighbours and good for this long suffering planet and all its inhabitants.
I’m from Australia where our climate is hot and dry(inland), hot and wet(in the north), cool and wet etc etc. even snows in some places!
Just a thought, and keep being creative!!
Love this home! I am curious – where did you get the water dispenser with faucet? I have a cottage in the country and am off the grid. I am trying to figure out how to dispense water in my soon to be kitchen. I have a beautiful copper sink bought from auction, but need a water source. When I saw this dispenser with faucet, I said, “That’s EXACTLY what I need! Please let me know if you purchased it or designed and made it.
Thank you. 😉
Try looking at RV equipment. This might help.
Thanks for replying, Lisa. I’ve been looking at different RV equipment and supply sites online and none of them have anything like the water dispenser and faucet in this TH. It appears more to me to have been designed and made by someone. Oh, well. I guess I’m going to have to keep looking and come up with some creative ideas like this one. Thanks, again. 🙂
Someone forgot to finish the tile work in the kitchen. I agree the window in the door should be a more conventional design, however Pella makes windows with miniblinds sandwiched between 2 panes of glass, controlled with a crank or knob, that might work with the application as shown for light regulation and privacy. Where is the bathroom, by the way?
There isn’t anything about your house I like guys. Sorry, if I knock something I generally try to find something nice to say but I suggest you hang around some of the TH sites for a while and see what your competition is putting out and then maybe take a stab at it. You have a vision but you are reaching out to sell it to a bit of a mass, not just the out there artist. This won’t do it. Hey, I think your goat is cute.
I LOVE the quirkiness of this home! =) It wouldn’t necessarily work in a standard home (for most people) but in a tiny home, anything goes and being unique is a good thing, in my own humble opinion. Well done!
No, no, no to that crooked window in the door. I have mild OCD and that would drive me nuts.
Can you send me an appropriate email for me to send my resume. Thanks.
