I can’t help but envy Jay Shafer. For the past 10 years he has been living in a tiny wooden house the size I’ve always wanted to live in, without any clutter and he sleeps in a divine mezzanine bed. A portable home that can be relocated anywhere he wants to live – on a river or even up in a tree. (If he was living up in a tree that would be officially unfair). Jay is a designer specializing in sustainable architecture and urban planning. You can find out more about him here.

Here are some gorgeous interior photos of his home.

“I call the first of my little hand built houses Tumbleweed. My decision to inhabit just 100 square feet arose from some concerns I had about the impact a larger house would have on the environment, and because I do not want to maintain a lot of unused or unusable space. My houses have met all of my domestic needs without demanding much in return. The simple, slower lifestyle my homes have afforded is a luxury for which I am continually grateful.”

The Tumbleweed Tiny House Company will prompt you to “Think Different” about the future of housing.

Here are all the tiny houses he’s designed and built. He has even made the plans available! Check out the ultra modern Z.GLASS HOUSE. Amazing designs!!!
