The Start Small tiny home is a wonderfully innovative and exceptionally smartly designed structure, designed by Texas-based architect Ann Armstrong, that is designed to make it easier than ever for you to enjoy the benefits of a tiny home without feeling like you're living in a cramped or otherwise limiting space.
Measuring 6 x 2.6 meters, this tiny home features liberal use of cedar which works well in conjunction with the metal roof. The home is insulated by rigid foam floor insulation and spray foam wall insulation. The home features as many as 10 windows which offer tons of natural light. The interior space includes a living area, a kitchenette and a utility space and bathroom with composting toilet, sink and shower.
Ultimately, the Start Small tiny home proves that tiny living doesn't have to be a compromise and can actually make for an appealing way to live.
