The house has a 19 gallon electric water heater hidden under work area, it has bathroom with 36″ shower stall, full size toilet, large sink/vanity, and a large closet/utility room with W&D hook ups. It has a large electrical service to allow this house to be set up like standard RV on 50 amp 110 service but also has the ability to hook up to 220v service to allow for electric dryer if needed.

The Partne house has solid true hardood flooring everywhere except the bathroom. With hardwood in both lofts, the bathroom is slated to have ceramic tile but was not down at the time these pics were taken.

  2. floor plan, please? I can’t figure out how this all fits together.

    *Love* how the bar/work area opens up the kitchen. Now if there were only more counter space… (maybe there is some and it’s hiding?)

    • Hi Bruce,
      you are correct, there isnt much room next to the sink, there are compromises in a tiny house and this particular layout and customer wanted certain sized range and fridge and sink where they are, actually I think it turned out really well, the good thing about “custom” is the next house can be tweaked to accomodate a drying rack or even a double sink if the buyer so desires.
      Thanks,

      Scott

    • I had to sacrifice sink counter space to generate space for the bar. I purchased a 24 inch “ACRYLIC CUTTING BOARD” with a full-width lip toplace over the stove for additional space. Here is one I bought: http://www.SkyMall.com that I had in mind. You can use the following link to see it: http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=203453036&c=10475

      This covers the gas stovetop and creates counter space in which I can put a dish drain board. It seemed a little ridiculous to give up “good” counter space just to have a “stereotyped” counterspace to put a dishdrainer that I only need periodically. The bar alleviates the need for a kitchen table, desk for a computer, etc.

    • Thanks Vicky for the comment, I agree on the shipping, if only I could ship even across the country cheaply I could work day and night.

      Thanks,

  5. This is beautiful! I really love the kitchen/bar area in this design – kind of eliminates the need for a table. The only thing that keeps me from seriously considering buying a tiny house built by a company (like this one) is some of the materials used, like fiberglass insulation, OSB, various adhesives and treated lumber (I understand that not all of that is included in this particular house). I would love to see a tiny house builder that is invested in using completely natural, minimally processed and non-toxic materials without a noticeable difference in price.

    • Hi Abi,
      thanks for the comments. I totally understand the desire for other materials but to be honest at this point in time, atleast from my area using other materials, even recycled materials will be more expensive and would not allow me to offer homes at the pricing you have seen advertised here, so its price or specific materials and sadly not both. Of course doing custom work we will be glad to use any product the buyer wants and just adjust the price accordingly based on what we normally use. Thanks again for your comments,

  6. I love the look of many of the houses that appear on this website but really am put off by the predominance of tongue and groove for the interiors. Maybe it’s a personal prejudice or something peculiar to the UK but I always equate tongue and groove with garden sheds and workshops. I’ve not seen one where I thought the use of it was asceticly pleasing and that would be a key consideration for me in buying or building a tiny house.

    • Hi Pete,
      thanks for taking time to look at and comment on the house. I realize not everyone likes the pine and of course we will install any product, but as of now the pine seems to be the in thing, it is easy to work with and handle but I would be glad to welcome the chance to use another product as we have many many in a row with the pine so a change would be nice. With that being said I am a bit surprised to hear you associate the t&g with garden sheds, as you say it could very well be a geographic thing because where I am, I can assure you the expense of t&g material is not spent on garden sheds.
      Thanks again for your comments,

      Scott

      • Thanks for replying to me and all the other commentors. I think it must be a geographical thing. There was a point over here where pine tongue and groove was everywhere, now fashion seems to demand clean, flat, minimalist surfaces. Looking at two self build options now so t and g becomes a matter of personal choice. Good to know you can offer other options though.

  7. Hi Scott,

    I think this is a gorgeous house and the small kitchen design may be my favorite of any tiny house I’ve seen. The only thing I don’t like is how the stair to the front loft breaks up the loft space. Do you have any pictures of the rear loft and the utility room?

    I left a comment on your AnneMarie house and I wonder a similar thing for this house. How much would it increase the price if we wanted low e insulated windows, a tankless water heater, and energy efficient appliances? Also, I agree with Abi that it would be great to have non formaldehyde insulation, and non toxic materials, but I understand that it’s difficult to keep your homes as affordable as they are and use such specific materials. Curious about your thoughts. Thank you.

    • Hi Jason, thanks for the compliment. I see what you are saying about the ladder entering the loft as it does, in this particular situation there is plenty of loft space with this set up and works out just fine, I probably would have made the lofts much bigger, only seperated by a 3′ gap in the middle or so with one ladder used to access both lofts, but as I have mentioned before those are just a couple of ways to go. I have no problem with any set up and there would really not be much of a price difference either way.
      As for the windows, nearly all the windows we are using are low e units, tankless water heaters are also very common but this seems to be an item that everyone has a different opinion on which is the best one to use so I have been having each client pick their own water heater, either send it to me in which case I would deduct the price of the water heater we normally use, or send me a link and I will order and get it and adjust the price accordingly, which could be up or down.
      On the insulatioin and other materials, I will use any product you like that I can acquire, if it happens to be something I am not familiar with I will bring in someone who is. I am fully for the idea of using the lower impact materials, green, recycled, etc., and more than willing to do so but to be honest so far in this economy price is king. Now let me say something else as I dont want to mislead someone, simply due to the size of the house there just isnt really that much insulation so even if it is higher it isnt going to be a tremendous amount and most likely not a deal breaker in itself for anyone with this idea very important to them, each specific idea and product would just need to be addressed one at a time.
      Wow, I sure went on and on there huh, thanks again for the remarks,

      Scott

      • Hey Scott,

        I can see what you’re saying about the relative amount of insulation used – that’s a good point.

        I think we need to remember that – and this is more of a general observation and not directed at any one person or company – that running to the store and purchasing “the green alternative” is not our only option. Not only is it, as you’ve mentioned, typically more expensive, it is also rather blind and foolish of us to assume that the only or best option is one that has been processed, packaged and marketed by a corporation. It will only benefit us to think out side of the “what’s commercially available” box and ignore one-size-fits-all solutions.

        As far as insulation is concerned, what about cotton, wool (I know wool is very common in the UK and NZ), shredded paper, reconstituted old/unwanted clothing (similar to Bonded Logic’s denim batting but without so much processing), rice hulls (other forms of agricultural “waste”?), straw, clay-coated straw, perlite, vermiculite, crushed volcanic rock, etc.? Along with that goes the consideration of what is locally available and works best for the specific situation; maybe you strike up a partnership with local farmers or start a recycling program in your community where people can donate old paper or clothing. Just some thoughts. 🙂

        Thanks!

    • Thanks for that remark, I was hoping for some feedback on those doors, we installed one for the bathroom as well as the closet door. I was really thinking at first it needed doors with more of a wooded look but I do think they turned out fine but its always good to hear from others, the main thing of course is that the original buyer seems to approve and thats really the main thing, also for those who may not like this particular look, its an easy change out.

      Thanks for taking time to post the compliment,

      Scott

    • Hi Patricia,
      this house as pictured is $20,300
      If reproduced without the log siding, different flooring and a couple of small changes on appliances it would be $16K, delivery on either unit to Leavenworth would be $3K as of now, delivery costs are most likely going to increase within the next couple of weeks with fuel prices climbing back up, please let me know if you have any other questions,

    • Patricia,

      I purchased the AnneMarie unit from Scott that was offered in Nov. Scott will start building it sometime very soon, and then it will be transported to me here in WA state. I only live a few hours from you just outside Seattle. If you are serious about purchasing this unit from Scott maybe we could arrange a better price to have them both delivered to us in WA state.

      To the others here that like Scott’s work but want a different layout, or building materials, consider having him build a custom unit for you.

      The awesome thing about the tiny homes that Scott builds is that he is VERY easy to work with and has a can-do, will-do attitude about any request or desire to customize the little homes for each person. Everyone seems to want something different in their tiny home. It seems impossible to please everyone, but Scott offers many more options that don’t seem to be aval with other tiny home builders, leaving most people feeling that the need to build their own tiny home to make sure they get just what they want.

      I shipped Scott a sink for my bathroom, a frig with a lower freezer, a glass stovetop and and a granite sink & custom faucets to install in my unit and I am requested a different floor plan done than on other AnneMarie units. Scott has a “no problem, we can do that” attitude so I think he is the builder to go with for incredible prices and custom work.

      I am trying to figure how to do a blog so that I can share info and pictures with those interested from the beginning to end. It is going to be my GIRL CAVE. I am SO excited. I am ready to girlify it and paint it as soon as it arrives. NO deer antlers in my tiny home, NO sir ree… total Girl Cave. YEAH…..

  10. This is a beautiful home indeed. Nicely done.

    I understand that not everyone likes the tongue-and-groove inside but once when we were looking at modular homes (built in a factory rather than on-site) and noticed this was used a lot, we were told that it holds up well with moving, whereas drywall does not (cracks). I think it would look nice and bright painted cream but wood is nice and cozy too.

    As well, aren’t all appliances these days energy compliant/efficient, thus the “Energy” sticker on the outside (not for solar applications though). Any major place that sells appliances (i.e. Sears) shows the energy rating in the specs.

  13. Hi Scott! Is the Partne house still for sale? We are located near Wichita Ks and currently live in a moblie home that needs some serious $repairs/upkeep and are seriously considering downsizing to a tiny house instead. Love your work- would also consider something similar?

  15. I love the house that you made that is on that video, Shotgun Shack Redux. Would it be possible to get a floor plan? An instruction book or something?

  16. I really love the looks of this! I love the cabiny feel and the little bits of charm that make it feel homey. The only thing missing is a tiny fireplace of some sort! Happy to see a tiny home that is a affordable and even hear the options of making it even lower! Sure wish there was somewhere we could park these around here! Thanks for the lovely pictures!
