Master the Basics of Construction:
Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or hiring professionals, understanding the basics of construction is crucial. From framing to roofing, having a foundational knowledge ensures a sturdy structure. Attend workshops, watch tutorials, and seek advice from experienced tiny house builders. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions throughout the building process.

Mindful Space Utilization):
Embrace the challenge of limited space by optimizing every inch.
Tiny House Foundation:
Building a strong foundation is the first step in creating a stable and durable tiny house.

Tiny House Wall Framing:
Framing the walls is a pivotal phase in bringing your tiny house to life.
Tiny House Sheathing:
Sheathing your tiny house involves meticulous planning and execution. Measure and plan the layout with a quality tape measure, cutting all pieces with precision.

Windows and Door Rough Openings:
Crafting openings for windows and doors requires precision and attention to detail. Double-check window dimensions, cut out openings with the recommended tools, and apply house wrap for added protection.

Tiny House Roof Framing and Sheathing:
The roof is your tiny house’s crowning glory. Construct trusses as per plans, ensuring they tie into wall framing with hurricane ties. Keep the height under 13.5 feet and build headers for skylights if needed.

Doors, Siding, and Outside Trim Work:
Frame in the doorframe, build or purchase the door, and test-fit it before securing it to the frame.

Roofing and Rough Plumbing:
Apply ice and water shield before installing reflective barriers. Plan rough plumbing with careful consideration, accounting for drains, inlets, holes in the floor, vents, “P” traps, and proper slope for effective water drainage.

Rough Electrical, Gas Lines, and HVAC):
Plan the locations of outlets, lights, fans, sockets, smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide alarms for rough electrical work.

Insulation, Major Appliances, Flooring, and Walls:
Install insulation, paying attention to materials that come in contact with foam.

Kitchen, Bathroom, Sleeping Loft, and Main Room:
Plan the layout and storage for the kitchen, constructing rough frames for cabinets and countertops. Install countertops, drop in the stove and sink, and build and install cabinet doors.

Plan for Sustainability:
A sustainable tiny house embodies the principles of mindful living, allowing you to live in harmony with nature while enjoying the freedom of a simplified lifestyle.

Building a tiny house is not just a construction project; it’s a transformative journey towards a life of simplicity and freedom. This comprehensive checklist serves as your guiding light, helping you navigate each step with confidence and precision.

Westwood House

Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville NC with distant north views of Mt Spivey and a narrow sloping lot, this wedge-shaped home is a response to site. We took into careful consideration a variety of site-specific inputs including views, sun orientation, prevailing winds, privacy, and natural cooling/heating techniques among others. The result is a functional, energy efficient home with a distinctive exterior shape and warm light filled interior spaces. The home’s dominant shed roof maximizes solar orientation for photovoltaic panels while also allowing for a double-height central atrium to flood the core of the house with natural light and exhaust hot air on hot summer days. The introduction of natural light into the core of the house reduces the need for artificial lighting on cloudy days, while the chimney effect created by opening large operable skylights at the top of the atrium reduces HVAC loads by bringing cool air up from the basement. This central atrium is an example of how a design feature can multitask –it brings natural light deep into the core of the house, it cools the house using the chimney effect, and it provides a place to grow plants which filter interior air. It also allowed us to minimize the street facing windows for privacy while still maintaining a light filled interior. Anchoring the bottom of the atrium are four large arched openings and a Spanish terracotta tile floor. The tile floor is a durable surface good for watering plants and for heavy foot traffic. A keyhole opening marks the boundary between private and public sides of the house while two of the arched openings frame an intimate eating nook and entry foyer with walls covered in locally milled southern yellow pine. The last arch has steps spilling out into a sunken living room and kitchen area with access to a back deck. Locally milled cypress, a naturally rot resistant wood, covers the exterior and anchors the strong geometry of the house to the site. In the end, our desire for functionality created something more than just an energy efficient home. The interior took on an unexpected bohemian feel; one that originated from a desire for light and functionality, but resulted in warm soft interior spaces that were comfortable and welcoming.
