Portland Alternative Dwellings is a Portland company that educates and offers advice and resources in order to make tiny houses a reality for those who dream of living small. It all started in 2004, when Dee Williams built a tiny 84-square-foot house with her own hands and realized that it is not about having less, but rather about having more – time and money – to do the things that are really important.
PAD offers highly affordable plans for a number of very diverse tiny houses. 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. There are also names of reputable builders and manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest.
