The name for this 105 square foot house fits perfectly. The tiny structure would be at home in any rustic, mountain landscape and its distinctive mansard roof is different from many tiny homes. This little, mobile house is the newest edition to the Spice Box Homes repertoire and will be available for sale June 2015.
Spice Box Homes started building tiny homes in 2010 and specialize in reclaimed materials and energy efficient buildings. The Mountain Mansard on display in Dolores, Colo. was set up as finished project in about an hour. About 75 percent of the home was built from reclaimed materials from local sources including old barns. It has a unique, removable 40 square foot panelized addition that can be used for sleeping and storage.
The Mountain Mansard was built by Spice Box Homes owner Chris Curry. He included timbers from local sawmills, metal siding, wood flooring, a kitchen made of reclaimed materials and a rocket mass heater. The Tiny House Blog featured Spice Box Homes and their building vision in 2013.

I really like the L shaped addition – What a great innovation to the regular THOW style!
I would be very interested to see photos and details of the rocket mass heater that he put in it.
Sad there are no interior photos or floor plan. While I agree the rustic roof blends in well with the surroundings, I would paint that tin to reduce the chance of those rusty spots leaking. A clever artist can use the tin as a canvas and get a similar look using paint.
A really well created house. Very remote, would really love to see the interiors.
if you aren’t going to show the inside—then don’t post this stuff. annoying.
Please include interior shots AND a floor plan, or don’t bother.
I agree with what others have mentioned in regards to no interior photos, layouts or even renderings. Not even on their website. What are some of these tiny house builders playing at? You are trying to sell a product that cost thousands of dollars, yet wont but up sufficient amount of pictures, videos or descriptions. It seems like people who built their own houses and are not intending to get into the business many times do a better job of showing off their project.
Sorry for the triple posts, my original post didn’t seem to show up after waiting some time, so I repeated. I didn’t know what was going on, it doesn’t usually do that.
The outside is wonderful, love the roofline and the addition on a THOW looks innovative.
