Hello Chris, thanks for coming by! I think Noah got the design pretty organically. 12×12 structures are exempt a lot of permitting around here, but you can go up—so he added the loft. As for the building materials, as with much recycled building, you take what you find and incorporate it in. For example, I know he got those windows all at once at a used building supply place. If what they had was a different shape, he probably would have had a different front design to his house. Creative use of whatever you have on hand is the name of the game.

The entire saga of the Noahhouse is inspiring and amazing. Where did your cousin get his idea for the design? Many accolades to him and your re-construction crew. And I think your website is spiffy too!

Congratulations on the tiny house! It really makes me want my own little retreat — I think all I’d need would be bookshelves, an overstuffed chair, an ottoman, and a cabinet for snacks. To quote Eliza Doolittle, “Wouldn’t it be loverly?”
