7 Tiny Houses You’ll Fall in Love With- HOME REFINERY
So honored to be featured in Home Refinery. Our Retreat took the number one spot!
What Are Tiny Houses?
Tiny houses come in many shapes, though typically in similar sizes—tiny! These types of homes may be mobile homes, crate homes, tree-houses, or just simply ‘small’ traditionally-built homes complete with concrete foundations. What makes a tiny home characteristic of the sweeping trend in home design, is the often the overabundance of style afforded to even the smallest of detail. Where a ‘mobile home’ might be a simple prefab design with the bare essentials—a ‘tiny home’ would come with rich oak flooring, designer lighting, satin nickel hardware, and look similar to what one might see in a furniture showroom. Simply put, the most striking difference between ‘tiny homes’ and ‘small houses’ is the style in which they are conceived. To help further illustrate what makes a tiny house, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best tiny house designs out there!

Timbercraft was featured on Houzz! The 16 Most Popular Exterior Photos on Houzz This Year
As trends come and go, one thing remains the same: Houzz users are drawn to a wide range of architectural styles. But a look through the most popular exterior photos added to the site in 2017 does show a common thread: Each has a thoughtful design that responds to its surroundings, whether it’s a spot between a forested hill and a meadow, a narrow lot near the beach, above an area that may flood, or in view of the Pacific’s powerful waves. More important, each has many fans who saw something in it they love.

Movable Charm
Once something has been mocked on Portlandia, you know it has cultural relevance. And so it is with tiny homes of about 150 to 400 square feet, often on wheels for mobility when desired. This tiny house’s appealing Craftsman style made it the most popular one on Houzz this year.
The metal roof, Western cedar siding, tiny gabled front porch, deck and outdoor shower all add to its charm.

Tesla builds a tiny house?
By: Andrew Odom
In the ultimate form of marketing and shameless self-promotion Tesla introduced its Tesla Tiny House on August 13, 2017. The roughly 140 sq.ft. showplace on wheels is now touring Australia for the sole purpose of featuring their energy products, like solar panels and the Powerwall. For those who may live under a rock, Tesla was founded in 2003, and specializes in electric cars, lithium-ion battery energy storage, and, residential solar panels.
The tiny house is being toted around the country by a Tesla X, which is a bit of an SUV crossover, in an effort to show the public a full implementation of renewable energy generation, storage and use renewable energy for their home. To be perfectly honest, the tiny house is not your typical tiny house. In fact, it should be called the Tesla Mobile Studio as it really just presents itself as a mobile design studio and configurator to help home owners design a solar plus energy storage system for their home. It is marketing brilliance indeed. However, the name tiny house is a bit misleading. Let’s not allow us to gloss over the impact Tesla technology could have on the modern tiny house movement.
Imagine living in a home that is 100% powered by renewable energy with a small solar installation. The house has a mobile design that calculates how much clean energy your home can generate from the sun using the installed solar panels and then storing up in the Powerwall to use both day and night. All of this to be monitored and even controlled by the Tesla app.
So why Australia you may ask when the United States seems to be so hungry for smart and affordable alternative energy? Turns out Australia has the world’s highest per capita penetration of rooftop solar with 15% of households using solar for a total of 1.5 million households across the country. The US doesn’t even compare. Back to the actual tiny house though. Forgive Tesla for inaccurately describing what the structure is. Instead focus on what they are trying to do. In a real world scenario they are showing what is possible with their retail applications. Imagine if more solar companies, rain harvesting companies, wind energy companies, etc. created something similar. Seeing a product in use is far more convincing than just pontificating on its actual application? Kudos to Tesla for literally taking the “power to the people.” Oh, it also helps that the tiny house is quite attractive in and of itself!
What do you think about Tesla’s Tiny House? Do you think it is a solid mix of marketing and education or just another lateral motion in Elon Musk’s Sunday afternoon playbook?

The Best Tiny Home Builders in all 50 States
PUBLISHED ON August 18, 2017
The tiny home movement has taken off significantly in the last decade. At 500 or less square feet, tiny home living allows individuals and families to save money, live more environmentally friendly, and simplify their life. With the rising popularity of tiny homes, including television shows and tiny home villages sprouting up around the country, it is no surprise that there are more incredibly tiny home builders around the country than ever before.
We researched extensively to create this list of the best tiny home builders in each state. Some states, like Oregon, Colorado, and Tennessee have significantly more options than others. This has to do with a combination of local laws embracing tiny home living, a landscape that lends itself to exploring the great outdoors, and a population eager to live with more freedom. But keep in mind that you don’t have to be limited by geography when choosing a tiny home builder – many of those on this list will ship anywhere in the US and even Canada.
The tiny home builders included in this list cover nearly anything you could be looking for. Although many builders offer pre-made models, just as many will personalize or completely custom design and build a home suited to your needs. The builders on this home create everything from mobile to stationary homes, those specialized in off-the-grid living and green building techniques, homes built specifically for the physically handicapped, to super luxurious homes, rustic hunting cabins, funky urban caravans, and more.
