Product Description
by Michael Janzen (Author)
The Tiny House Design System is a collection of tiny house forms, like building blocks, that can combine to create consistent and cohesive designs. You can design tiny houses from simple to complex, traditional to contemporary, making it easier for owner-builders and professionals to design and build tiny houses. You can also design your tiny house with the design system and hire a professional to build your design. Inside you'll find:
- Hundreds of Illustrations
- Dimensioned Plans
- Wide Variety of Roof Styles, Including Gable, Hip, Dutch Gable, Cross Gable, Shed, Gambrel, Arched, Saltbox, Asymmetric, Clerestory, Flat, and Wedge.
- Over 500 Pages
The perfect tiny house is the one you design yourself. It's expansive enough to help you avoid creating cookie-cutter homes yet versatile enough to empower you to create personalized designs. Also factored into the design system are the legal road limits for tiny houses. Using the dimensioned drawings for each house form, you can build a tiny house that falls within the road limits for tiny houses on trailers.
The tiny house movement emphasizes simplicity and minimalism, focusing on smaller, more efficient homes. This design system empowers more people to create their unique designs. It aligns with the tiny house movement's core values, efficient use of space and resources, affordability, and a focus on living a meaningful life.
