Re-Thinking Tiny Houses

This book transforms the virtues (and drawbacks) of Tiny Houses into an entirely new logic for affordable housebuilding-a logic especially suited to owner-built, DIY dwelling projects. The POD & SHELL building strategy is introduced, explained, diagrammed, and then richly illustrated in a step-by-step format that is easy to grasp and understand. Fully illustrated and scaled Study Plans are then provided for thirteen "not-so-tiny" dwellings that accommodate singles, couples, families with children, and home-offices or studios. Finally, detailed component and assembly illustrations are provided for the "FREE-DWELL(TM) POD" that makes the POD & SHELL strategy possible.
