Corrugated Steel Pipe for Tiny Homes?

Published by Steph at 9:57 am under Small Homes

There seems to be growing interest in the small home movement to use steel or concrete pipes as the shell of a tiny home.

There is an interesting discussion on the subject that’s just begun on the Tiny House Forum.

Alex on the Tiny House forum is exploring the idea of using a T shaped section of corrugated pipe as the shell for a living space. I think the idea has some interesting potential and would fit right in to the modern architecture aesthetic. (Can’t you just see lovely round windows or a funky curved doorway at the end of each section?)

There also seems to be a lot of interest around Scotty’s vertical design on the Tiny House Forum using a concrete pipe.

And as I’ve previously written about, sewer pipes are currently in use as hotel rooms at the Park Hotel in Ottensheim, Austria.

If you find the concept of using pipes in tiny home construction interesting, I encourage you to join the discussion over on the Tiny House Forum.
