I’ve always been partial to this style of small house design, where there are strange angles on the face of the building. It always reminds me of cabins in small lakeside communities, and I even like to see them in the middle of the city. Maybe you like the traditional square cabins better, and we have lots of those, too, but for those who want to consider building something small in this design, this one is definitely an inexpensive tiny home option at under $4000 (as a starting price; I’m sure I don’t need to tell you a starting price is never a finished price).
It’s by CSC, a company we’ve been looking at lately for their steel building kit homes. Actually, this one is designed to be a tiny home on wheels (although I’m sure that’s not necessary), which is nice if you want to build that way and keep it mobile. We’re looking at the tiniest tiny home they have here, for the lowest price, but they have a very similar one, twice as wide, for $4500. From the builders:
