On another note, we currently don't have any tiny houses that match the filters you've selected. For example, you can opt for a cheaper type of toilet but use the money you save for, let’s say, making the house off-grid by adding solar panels. If even this can’t persuade you to buy one but you would like to own one, then just buy the plans for the version.2 and, if you have time and the necessary skills, build one yourself. Leaf House Version.2 is currently on the market for CAD$44,500 (US$43,429), which is a steal if you take into consideration that it cost Herbert CAD$40,000 (US$39,038) to build. If you fancy something with a personal touch, you can commission Herbet to design your very own tiny house prototype.
VIPs are an insulating product that is not yet available in commercial construction but have incredible potential for tiny houses and the recreational vehicle industry. VIPs are thin (1/2” to 1”) yet have an R value of R30 per ½”. The extremely low pressure in the panels prevents heat transfer, and overlapping the panels means that a wall of R60 can be achieved with only 1” thick of material. The panels are filled with silica and are also lightweight. The space and weight savings mean that tiny house construction might just be the perfect application for VIPs. Romance is alive at the Scenic Orchard Tiny Home in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.

A quick jaunt will land you at nearby Keuka Lake, where you can take advantage of the hiking and cycling trails. After, stop at Fox Run Vineyards on the wine trail, or try local craft beer at Steuben Brewing Company. Wrap up your evening with some stargazing by the fire pit before cozying up in Baby Blue. The attached deck with chairs and fire pit area create a relaxing outdoor space to feel away from it all. Although it gives off secluded vibes, you’ll be just a hop and a skip from Schenectady and Saratoga, both of which have a wide array of food and drink offerings.
She moved into her 325-square-foot tiny house with her partner and their dog with the hopes of loving the lifestyle. The house was built in the 1930s and only had a few small windows. Thank you so much for posting the information regarding the HRV units that work for tiny houses. I am based out of Montreal, so I was able to go to the distributor and chat with them.
Awesome Tiny Homes For The Homeless
“I realized I much preferred doing the tiny lifestyle with a partner and with a set up that was much more reliable than my old van,” she said. Very excited to hear about this as I have lived in AK and traveled in the Yukon in nothing but a 12 year old van. They are expensive, but they are a fairly new so it’s to be expected. The wooden railing and decking make these houses fit together, and the different colored cabins add interest. These buildings must be a positive and welcome change to living on the streets. The colorful accents make the community feel vibrant, and the handpainted tree mural is a lovely touch.

Reducing the Weight of the House
The whole house can operate on less than 15 amps, what you get in one circuit through an extension cord. It’s also positioned to enjoy nature in Central New York, with the Erie Canal and Green Lakes State Park, just 10 minutes down the road. Cycle the famous Erie Canal trail within Old Erie Canal State Historic Park.
Slumbering in a tiny house gives us the best of both worlds; access to creature comforts and a real bed, and proximity to the outdoors. Whether you’re interested in a luxurious tiny cabin with all the frills, or a more rustic, off-grid option, one thing is sure…amazing memories will be made during this unique stay. The most exciting technology showcased in the tiny house, which is the subject of this post, is the vacuum insulated panel .
Unhappy with the build
Head to the backcountry wilderness at Ellea Pine Camps, situated on a stunning 220 acre swath of land in the Adirondacks. The cabin is off-grid but that doesn’t mean you have to give up all of your creature comforts. Heating, solar power, shower with hot water, luxury linens, and a private heated outhouse make this a perfect glamping spot.
Depending on how much you want in your build and how many trinkets you fill your shelves with, each Leaf House can weigh anything 5,000lb to 20,000 lb. This makes the Leaf House a light and fuel-friendly option if you play your cards right. And, because the Leaf House can be towed, you can always pull it with an eco friendly car or an electric campervan. If you haven’t guess already then it’s very rare that these tiny eco houses will ever look the same, unless you a for a specific design or the same layout as someone else. This particular model is very cosy and has everything in it that you would need for off grid living. Perched on 10-acres, Baby Blue at Sugar Creek feels like your own slice of Upstate New York paradise.
“I chose to try out van life as I really wanted to feel like I was in nature everyday,” she said. This tiny home is a textbook example of how space-saving design makes a huge difference in compact rooms. The friendly design, with two perfectly proportioned windows, gives those struggling a place to call home.
While striving to come up with a tiny house design which could stand up to the extreme Canadian winters, they actually developed several which are at once eco-friendly and aesthetically appealing. It's a simple interior, with a Murphy bed instead of what has almost become a standard, the loft bed. This allows for a smaller volume and lower ceiling, and helps reduce the weight.
The park is your oyster with this tiny house rental as your base. With VIPs tiny house builders can use 2X3s, 2x2s or metal tubing for framing, reducing the overall wall size significantly, yet achieving R60 efficiency with little weight. Leaf House will be building three different kinds of walls to test different wall designs. With the VIPs and a layer of spray foam between the studs which also acts as a vapour barrier. The second is a double stud wall with a double layer of VIPs for R60 on the north side, and the third is a curtain wall that will also be R60 and hang over the structural framing. Each tiny eco house that Leaf House build is made to measure and can fit on a trailer between feet in length.
