  1. I think I need to understand the context of this particular build, as my initial reaction is not a good one. Whom would this benefit? The construction looks poor, it looks like there is zero insulation, no real functionality or comfort built in. With a vast amount of better design options, I don’t see the point of this particular exercise.

    • To be fair it’s not being billed as a house or a home. It’s billed as a cabin which fits quite well. Many people have small “retreat” types of space that have no amenities and only provide a place to rest. If it were intended to be a home it would be set up like one. I don’t think the intention is to live in it.

  2. Very sloppy and poorly thought out. With all the beautiful and well built tiny homes presented, this one is sad. I remeber when I was a kid and we built “forts” out of skrap lumber.

  3. I agree with the other commentators here. It looks very unfinished and not at all designed for comfort or practicality. Where are the kitchen and bathroom? I don’t think a tiny house should be considered as a dwelling unless it’s got certain necessary amenities, and this is one of them that doesn’t fit that definition. Its best function would be as an office or studio and nothing more. The ONE thing that I do like is the colorful exterior, but that’s all. The designers need to go back to the drawing board and come up with something more appealing and functional.

    • I just clicked on the link and read that it was designed and built by Deek Diedricksen. Deek, man, what were you thinking?? You’re a talented designer, but you could have come up with something better than this. Come on, dude.
