Tinyhaus (WIP)

Aka: Steven’s Tiny Passive-House.
Client: Personal project; evenings and weekends
Specs: 2 inches of exterior polyiso insulation, continuous air and water barrier, standing seam roofing, cedar T&G + 26ga steel siding, and about 3,876 lessons learned 😅

Above: this tinyhouse is preferred over a normal house by 9 out of 10 flying insects
Below: it’s bigger on the inside!!!

Above: as an expert-level materials hoarder, I’ve been carrying the piece of aluminum (bright metal around the vent hood) around with me since 2010 😂😭. It was very satisfying to finally cut it up and put it to good use.

I apologize for the above detail, which worked for my purposes but may make a real architect’s eyes bleed 😎
