I'm interested to see how you set that up. doesn't look like it'd hold more than a toilet & tiny sink, and a bed overhead.

That is the hottest outhouse I've ever seen!

I love google sketch. I do wish he'd put in more about his plans for a kitchen and toilet.

Weirdly this doesn't fit under my rants about tiiiiny house movements, because it's more like a crazy art project. I'd love to see the completed thing.

Sounds a lot like a prison cell! Sorry, I don't want to cook, eat, sleep, or socialize in my bathroom.

I hope the resident is able to save enough money to eat out for every meal, because I don't see where to store a box of cereal, let alone a couple of bowls or a carton of milk!

I'm impressed when I see things like this, but at the same time they scare me. I get quite frightened just living in an apartment when a huge storm comes through complete with tornado. I can not even imagine the terror I would feel being holed up in a dwelling that's not much bigger than I am. There's no sense of security in this structure unless we're living in a climate controlled bubble!

I am sad that I will never get those minutes of my life back.

"So, what are you doing tonight?"

"Ohhhh, I was going to go home and sit."

& I thought henry david thoreau's cabin was small..

I don't get this tiny house "movement". If you want to save money, why not live in a cardboard box?

and where exactly does all the piping go? or do we just hook it up to a few "AA"s? I think my nieces have a bigger doll house. thanks, I'll take the 4 bed/3 bath house with garage and large backyard.

that was the stupidest thing i'v ever watched. why was that even posted?
i built a lego house last week. it might only fit one lego man, but maybe you should post that!

You know, for a site of people who are potentially hobbyists, this house would never work. I need a place to cut my fabric, thanks.

Somewhere, some New York developer is rubbing his hands together while dollar signs glow in his eyes.

Finally: a way to make Manhattan apartments smaller.

Thanks.

Wow! What an absolutely impractical, needless, and wasteful idea. Seriously... Profoundly stupid.

The comments on this post, though, have been fabulous... btoddster and nikkibee... fabulous.

Ok, I totally respect the small house movement, but that is ridiculous. Looks like you'd pretty much be cooking in your bathroom.
I would go insane there.

250 square feet is extremely challenging, 9 square feet is mental illness. This is just ridiculous.

Sweet- my kids would LOVE that as a playhouse!

I am all for living small, but there's also one's quality of life to consider. I can't even host playdates for my kids' friends in our tiny place, let alone dinner parties- and I have to cut my fabric on the kitchen table when I sew. I'm definitely looking forward to having enough space for our family to enjoy these activities, we enjoy hosting and it's been ages since we've had anyone over. We'll be moving into something bigger once my husband finishes school this June, and I can't wait- but in the meantime, the low rent and awesome location are hard to beat.

I hate McMansions as much as the next AT'er, but there has to be a happy medium that allows a person enough space to live their lives without condemning them to less living space then we give convicts in prison.

Crazy idea it can't be taken seriously. How would my 6ft 5 son in law fit in here? Or come to that my 5ft 2!

i love tiny homes and have for years, but this ... this. this is ridiculous.

There are several homeless people living in refrigerator boxes who could have a legitimate intellectual property theft case here...
