Want Help Building Your Own Tiny Home?
So all us tiny home bloggers are in a tizzy of excitement right now due to the Tiny House Project. A group of artists, architects, and people passionate about sustainable living have gotten together on a project to build a mobile tiny home neighborhood that will serve as a traveling art exhibition.
“The Tiny House Project will put out a call for submissions asking artists for tiny house project proposals. Specific criteria for these proposals are being developed with input from members of the Project’s Advisory Committee to ensure that the resulting structures meet artistic, environmental, structural and communication objectives. A qualified selection panel will choose nine tiny house projects from the pool of applicants to receive funding (a more detailed description of this two-stage call follows). Each artist/project team will be given a 7’ x 14’ trailer bed and $23,000 to cover the cost of materials and artists’ fees associated with designing and building a tiny house that will then be incorporated into a temporarily occupied micro-community and a follow-on traveling exhibition.”
So those of you who’ve been dreaming of building your own tiny home but worrying that you simply don’t have the funds–here’s your shot.
I’m really excited to see the designs generated by this project. In fact, even though I’m already in my own tiny home I’m really tempted to submit my own design I’d just so love to contribute to the project.
In particular, I’d really love to see some designs submitted that would work for the wheel-chair bound or people with other special needs (for example, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). In addition, I’d love to see designs incorporating more green materials.
