I have been following the tiny house movement for about two years and about a month ago I decided that I wanted to contribute to the movement with my own designs. The goal is to actually build one of my prototypes for my girlfriend and I. The one I have designed is called The Swing House because the porch swing is the most recognizable feature of the home.
The tiny house movement is important to me because I believe that people should be able to control the way they live as much as possible. Small scale housing is a great way for people to get their hands dirty in the process of defining their own living situation. One can say that it is an anarchistic way of dealing with architecture. Government control over housing has been a massive problem, particularly after World War II. Cookie cutter homes offer no individuality and rarely meet the needs of its inhabitants. My goal is to create tiny house designs custom made for my clients. I have the qualifications to do this, so If anyone here is interested in making their tiny house dreams come true, contact me via e-mail at benjiberigan@gmail.com.
Here are some examples of other tiny homes people have built.
