On another forum I was led to an article about Tiny Texas Houses, which led me to the website of Discovery Architectural Antiques in Gonzales, Texas. This company sells salvaged architectural items for restoration.
They've come up with a new project that I think is just awesome! The Tiny Texas Houses Project takes those salvaged architectural items that they have in inventory and builds 95% recycled (wiring, plumbing, etc., being new) tiny, portable houses from them. Each one will, of course, of necessity, be somewhat unique.
I'd love to have one of these on our place as a guest cottage/office/man cave! It would be great for a horse facility, too, as a tack room/lounge for boarders/students.
Tricia - It is unusual so see the word 'tiny' next to the word 'Texas'. :) What a fascinating idea! Some of those little houses are darling - I loved the one with the loft in it.
Just curious - I didn't see in the article how they were delivered, they couldn't build them on your lot, that would be cost consuming. Wouldn't a little village of these be fun for a mini resort - like vacation cabins.
I gotta flag this for a localism feature.
Virginia, aren't they adorable?
I'm assuming that they are delivered much like other portable buildings are, on a flatbed.
And, yes, they would! I've always (well, for almost 40 years now) wanted to have a sort of "bed and breakfast" in the woods for creative types, with little cottages or cabins tucked into the woods where they could stay and write or whatever and come have dinner at my house. These would be perfect!
Hi Tricia... These are great looking and are probably a lot of fun (until the next tornado rolls in!). I would seriously enjoy having one of these!
Steve, when another tornado comes, it won't matter - I'll be in the storm shelter!
