Alter Ec'Home Et voici aujourd’hui les premières photos de la construction de 2 Mobile Ec’Home dans l’atelier près d’Hazebrouck (département du Nord) : Pour le socle du Mobile Ec’Home et afin qu’il soit assez rigide et solide pour ses futurs déplacements, le plancher repose sur un cadre métallique.Peint et donc protégé, le cadre reçoit ensuite les poutres qui soutiendront le plancher. Des planches de bois huilées sont ensuite vissées sur la face inférieure (l’habitat sera surélevé par rapport au sol) Le dessous achevé, le cadre de bois est retourné et fixé sur son support métallique Et voilà l’isolant (seule concession d’Alter Ec’Home à l’industrie pétrolière, mais les contraintes liées à l’humidité nous y ont contraint) 10 cm de polystyrène ! La méthode de contreventement choisie pour le Mobile Ec’Home et à base de planches clouées en diagonale, plus léger, plus respirant et plus naturel que les traditionnels panneaux d’osb Mur à ossature bois de l’habitat écologique, insolite et nomade Mobile Ec’Home.

Tiny Houses - Tiny Home Builders What is a tiny house? A tiny house is a small house that is sized such that it can fit on a trailer. In most areas this means that it can’t be bigger than 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches tall, and 40 feet long. Why would I live in a tiny house? For many, the dream of owning their own house is only that, a dream. Another advantage of tiny houses is gained time. Another advantage is that the houses can be moved. Finally, one last reason to living in a tiny house is conservation. Why wouldn’t I just buy an RV? RV’s are great for travel, but not so great to live in. Have more questions? Looking for a house for your dog or maybe just a small project to get you started, take a look at our modernDog dog house.

Open Trail Homes Four Lights Tiny House Company Open Trail Homes Open Trail Homes, a new tiny house company has been launched in North Salt Lake, Utah. They currently offer four models from 128 to 320 square feet. All of the homes are built on wheels and the largest measures 12′ x 24′ – which would make it better suited for a semi-permanent installation since special move permits are typically required to move 12-foot wide trailers. All the others could be moved with a full size pickup truck. They are all equipped as RVs with electric & water hookups as well as built-in fresh & waste water tanks. Three of their four models are designed with beds on the lower level and three have additional sleeping/storage space in lofts. I’m very impressed with the packages they’ve put together and suspect this company could become a leader in the tiny homes market. To get a look yourself visit the Open Trail Homes website and Follow them on Facebook. Photo credit to Open Trail Homes. Top: Blue Sky model, 165 square feet. Below: Blue Sky Floor Plan

Humble Homes A Rustic Tiny House Made From Reclaimed Materials | Humble Homes Portland, Oregon is probably one of the most progressive cities with regard to the tiny house movement. Its home to Tiny House Hotel, great companies like PAD Tiny Houses, and also this eclectic tiny house that’s currently available for renting through AirBnB. The house looks to be about 12-by-18 foot, and whilst not stated on their AirBnB page, the usable square footage is probably in the range of 300 square feet when you include the loft. The house is a pet project of DIY enthusiasts, Jenny and Michael, who built the home from as many recycled and repurposed elements as possible. The exterior of the house is finished in a mixture of cedar shake shingles and feather edge siding. The shingles were acquired from high-end construction projects. The interior of the tiny house has been finished with a modern-rustic feel. The second floor of the house contains the sleeping area, accessed by the living room staircase. Photos: AirBnB
