Minim House was designed by Foundry Architects and Brian Levy, and is being built by David Bamford (Element Design+Build) and Brian.  The project seeks to reimagine what the tiny house could be, adding livability, streamlining construction, modernizing aesthetics, increasing off-grid versatility, all while keeping costs affordable.

Minim house is a little different from many tiny homes in that it is a bit bigger (wide load) at 11′x22′ (210 ft2 of interior space), built with highly insulating SIPs (structural insulated panels) that are prefabricated off site, and will have a 960 watt solar array and 40 gallon rainwater capture/treatment system built into it.  It also will feature a roll out full size bed (no loft), a 10′ galley kitchen, a 8.5′ couch, 5′ closet, office space, wet bath, loads of big windows, and a moveable walnut table that can be positioned in four sockets around the house and can alternately function as a dining table, coffee table, bedside table, extra desk, or bar/kitchen island.

Full details (and eventually, plans) on the new Minim Homes website. Updated pictures are below. Hopefully we’ll be mostly completed by the end of May…
