Forget about mansions and penthouse apartments – tiny houses are all the rage these days. You don’t have to be ascetic or a back-to-the-land hippie to appreciate the benefits of downsizing.
Tiny houses are inexpensive to build and maintain, with lower costs to heat and cool. They’re easy to clean, and they encourage a minimalistic, low-stress lifestyle.
Executives are building tiny houses vacation homes or backyard bungalows for weekend escapes, while cities are putting up diminutive housing for people who would otherwise be stuck living on the streets.
Tiny houses tap into the DIY movement
Tiny houses encourage the DIY spirit. After all, if you’re trying to save money by downsizing, you don’t want to pay architects and contractors. Pin-Up Houses offers a great way to make your tiny house dreams a reality, by providing low-cost building plans.
Pin-Up Houses provides dozens of “stylish and comfortable designs that stand apart from the rest.” Their tiny homes have cute names like Ginger, Alexis, and Barbara.
The plans include detailed blueprints, step-by-step instructions, and a pictorial tool list. They have plans for sheds, lean-tos, gazebos, cottages, cabins, and playhouses that “anyone can build.”
Designs include clever, convertible storage solutions, and luxuries like porches, lofts, and wood-stove heating, all taking up less than 500 square feet. They even have plans for kid-sized furniture for your little ones’ playhouse.
Plans are only $29
The plans themselves cost just $29, and customers boast that by salvaging materials, they’ve built Pin-Up House designs for less than $1,500. The creators estimate that most of the designs can be built in less than a month.
Pin-Up Houses was founded by Architect Joshua Woodman, who mastered his tiny house designs while studying for his Masters at the Czech Technical University.
