Michael Janzen has just published a more detailed version of his free tiny home plan over on his blog, Tiny House Design.  The current version of the plan can be downloaded here.  It also looks like future plans are in the works!

In other news, GreenGigs website listed Coming Unmoored as “One of 10 Green Blogs You Should Be Reading” this week.  The write-up describes this blog as: “A divorcee, a cat, a very small floating house, and some eco-awesome architecture.”

In speaking to the writer, she admitted that the initial description read “a strange-looking cat” but she didn’t want to be offensive.  Either way, I thought her summary was pretty spot-on.

The most common email I receive from readers of Coming Unmoored are questions on where they can find free tiny home plans.  Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, there’s not much out there in the way of free plans beyond what you can find in the way of designs for backyard sheds.  And even those seem to be limited.

In a prior article we featured the plans made available to the public by the artist Joseph Kenyon.

While I’m fascinated by the tiny home movement, I have no deep, burning design to draw my own designs beyond figuring out how to best configure the space in my own little place. However, I’ve been following Michael Janzen’s experiments in design over at his blog Tiny House Design. Recently Michael has become an absolute mad scientist when it comes to designing things in Google SketchUp.

Since he seems to have a real passion for design (while I do not), I suggested to Michael awhile back that he’d probably be contributing something of great value to the small home movement if he started making some of his designs publicly available to other small home enthusiasts.

I’m excited to say, Michael posted his first free 8 x 8 foot tiny home blueprint last week.  I encourage you to check it out and keep an eye out for additional plans in the future.

Additionall, f you have any suggestions of other sources for small home plans, we’d love it if you shared them!
