This is a true find. Sebastopol-based The Tumbleweed Tiny House Company was started by Jay Schafer around 1997 when he began pioneering the art of building and living in small spaces -- "subtractive design" or "low-impact architecture," as he calls it. As a professor, he had spoken on the subject in many places, including the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History, where he taught for ten years.

Wow. Beautiful--but "small homes" you're not kidding! It's reminiscent of a scaled-down caboose, or the stereotypical "gypsy wagon" from art and movies. Despite the scale, I love some of the views. kopanko on Jun 25, 2010
