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.
