Michael Jantzen at the always intriguing Tiny House Design
has been using Google SketchUp to design his Nine Tiny Feet project (a nine square foot house). The finished house would include a lavatory, sink, heater, bed, chair, fold-down table, and storage. Here's what he says:
"I came up with the size by asking myself how what the absolute minimum amount of space would be needed for someone to live. I did a quick calculation in my head of the amount of space I took up while laying down and came up with nine square feet."There is some sneaky additional space in the design via the use of attractive bay windows and accompanying cabinets/shelves plus a lofted sleeping area. Well worth a browse for more details and if it's not there already, Tiny House Design should be on your RSS feed.

Thanks for the kind words Alex! -Michael
Very cool design, but wouldn't it make more sense to just extend the living space out under the entire area of the roof?
I agree with Kevin. I would rather have a shower than a porch! And it looks like a bird house. Very cute.
When I first read the link to this article I thought it was the next step in the London conspiracy to install me in a £150,000 iron maiden billed as a "studio flat". Was relieved to see it's just a fancy, then tickled by the neat design.
Its basically and outhouse with a sleeping area. I also agree with Kevin regarding extending the living area. I really like it though, it would make a great "hideout". Thanks.
You seem to have a gaping hole where your bed wants to go.
so silly...
How does one get up to the sleeping area?
So you have to eat on the toilet? eeeeeeew!
