And with the number of talented builders joining the movement, there is sure to be just the right tiny house for sale for you.

Creative Cottages

The expression tiny house means different things for different people. Sometimes, all that is needed is a tiny cottage surrounded by nature, away from it all. Creative Cottages is owned by designer and builder R. McAllister Lloyd, who has 30 years of experience designing custom cottages using environmentally appropriate building practices to create intimate, unique, and energy-efficient homes that are comfortable and linked to their surroundings.

Each cottage combines the client’s needs and aesthetics with the builder’s knowledge of design, finely balancing function with a cozy, homey feel. The company offers their services for all parts of the process: from consulting to design to construction. They can help with advice and suggestions if a client has already started on their own small cottage, or they can care of the whole process, from the design to building to the delivery and installation of a pre-fabricated house.

Handcrafted Movement

Matt Impola created his 250-square-foot tiny house on wheels as part of the Handcrafted Movement he founded in order to ‘play a part in the rebirth of American ingenuity and quality in manufacturing’. He is a builder, making regular houses during his working hours, and in his free time he built, almost completely from scratch, the house he calls the 'Artisan Retreat'.

The house is the result of him combining his experience of learning about different cultures and design principles with his passion for the arts, craftsmanship, sustainability, and stewardship. The house, rustic but full of stylish and innovative details, is now for sale and hopefully Matt will be encouraged to make more of them. Photo: Handcrafted Movement

The Unknown Craftsmen

If you can imagine it, then father-and-son team Nick and Aaron Troisi promise to build it. This team of builders, craftsmen, and artists do not have pre-designed plans or models for the tiny houses they build. Their passion is to work with quirky, creative clients and to design, build, or enhance their artistic, personal, and completely custom homes. Your house can be stationary or made on a trailer of 16 to 24 feet and comes according to the size, form, and shape you desire.

The only condition is that the house is very personal and meaningful for each client. They also work with clients who have made or are making their own tiny home and just need a few elements – a special door or window in an unusual shape, a counter, or a piece of furniture. They work directly and closely with clients to understand their wishes and dreams and help them make even their wildest ideas a reality.

Only one thing is sure – the client will receive superb craftsmanship and a high quality, wonderfully livable home.

The result is every client’s dream home, ready to hit the road or get parked in grandpa’s field.

Tiny House Chattanooga

Mike Bedsole spent his life remodeling and repairing houses big and small, but the tiny house trend triggered his inner creativity and his wish to build something exciting and fun, something out of the box. The result is his Tiny House Chattanooga, the company that creates tiny, innovative houses on wheels, converting their clients’ dreams of living a simpler life in a tiny house into a real, livable reality.

The client specifies what they have in mind, what style, size, or material as well as all the other details, and he does the rest.

Their partner company produces custom trailers for each tiny house they make.

Sculptor House

Artist Craig Pleasants was way ahead of the tiny housing trend. He designed and built his first tiny house, called the Octagonal Living Unit, in 1981 using salvaged and found materials and lived in it for three years. The house, which is as much a piece of art as it is a home, stirred great interest, so Craig developed an affordable kit for a 450-square-foot highly energy-efficient house that four people can put together in a day.

The kit consists of the pre-finished high tech insulated panels for the roof as well as the walls, roof beams, siding material, low-energy doors and windows, roofing material, and the fasteners necessary to put the house together. There is no waste – everything is pre-cut and fits together perfectly. As it has been designed by an artist, the house is beautiful both inside and out, full of light, and appears much larger due to both the lack of 90-degree corners and the cathedral ceiling in one half of the house.

Some plans are simple, while others include photos to help people build some of the more challenging aspects of the design. Other resources include helpful books on house building in general as well as on the specific challenges of building small.
