Learn more about this plan

This month I had the pleasure of modifying Plan No. 3: Ash Cottage into a similar *new* design, Plan No. 50: Elm Cottage, for a client in California. Although it's still a tiny house the layout was modified to create a kitchen and living area with a separate bedroom & bathroom at the rear. All while maintaining its character under 500 square feet. 

Other new features include an insulated slab foundation, stucco siding, and more. Download the full ready to submit plan or further customize to suit your own needs.

Andrey Batluskey's Sago Project!

Andrey Batluskey is building a Sago as a getaway cottage in a quiet, beautifully treed area outside Moscow, Russia. I've been surprised just how much the area looks like the part of Washington state where I live.

He's doing awesome work - and that's in a place where light-frame construction is not as common as it is in the United States and Canada.

The Small House Catalog has sold plans in Russia but Andrey's is the first full housebuilding project to be brought to our attention so a generous thank you to him for taking time to send photos. I'm confident more will follow, so check back again soon!

In the meantime, enjoy the most recent photos (some just came in today) and please give our friends working hard this summer a shout of encouragement from wherever you are in the world!
