My name is Cody Gaylord and I am the current REED Manager (Renewable Energy and Ecological Design) at Green Mountain College. We are currently trying to sell the tiny house that the REED program designed and built in the Fall of 2010. The funds from the sale will be used to fund the REED programs next design/build project.
This tiny house was designed and built by Green Mountain College students in the Fall of 2010 as part of the REED (Renewable Energy and Ecological Design) program. The house boasts 96 square feet with a base footprint at 8 ft. by 12ft. plus an 8 ft. x 3 ft. 6 in. sleeping loft. Nearly all materials were repurposed and locally sourced including the rough cut siding and the slate threshold and countertop.
The window area is maximized on the south side for passive solar heating, and windows are placed for adequate summer ventilation. The off-grid 300 watt solar system shades the southern glazing in the summertime, and can easily power lights, laptops, peripherals, and devices. The sleeping loft is accessed via a ship ladder, and underneath is a custom corner window and storage bench. The angled rear wall creates a spacious feel, and the hyperbolic roof is designed to maximize rain water collection.
There is an exterior layer of 2 in. XPS insulation at the walls. The floor is insulated, and there is 2 in. of rigid insulation at the roof. The wall and roof insulation and interior paneling needs to be completed by the buyer. The house can be moved by GardenTime in Rutland. Buyer is responsible for moving costs. The asking price for this off-grid tiny house is $5,000. Funds received from this sale will be used to fund the REED program’s next design-build project.
