California Couple DIY Contemporary 236 Square Foot Tiny House

Published: Jul 12, 2017 · Modified: Aug 9, 2020 by itiny · This post may contain affiliate links ·

Brian and Joni Buzarde were ready to settle down in California but wanted to do it without getting into a ton of debt and so they decided to build a tiny house on their own with the help of Brian’s architect degree and experience. The “Woody” tiny house ended up costing around $50,000 and measuring 236 square feet with a contemporary look. It’s now found a permanent home on five acres and they plan to live in the impressive tiny house until their family outgrows it.

The home was given a slanted roofline which increased the interior ceiling height and large windows and sliding doors let natural light flood in.

Large sliding doors take up a full wall of the living area and double the size of the couple’s living space with an outdoor deck and an incredible view of the mountains.

A bench was built along the wall with storage below in the bench and even hidden in the floor underneath hinged panels.

The kitchen runs between the living room and bathroom and features light wood cabinets with metal upper cabinets and a deep shelf for storage. A compact stove and oven were built into the cabinets and there’s also a mini-fridge and sink.

A large TV sits on top of a custom platform at the end of the kitchen and a hall next to it takes you to the bathroom and ladder access to the sleeping loft above.
