I was living in a green home
size in an ecological hamlet in
bretagne I was then their founder and
editor of a magazine
specialized in construction
ecological
this explains that
there were often visitors who
came to see these funny houses and
their funny inhabitants one day I
received a group of walkers for their
take a tour of the place
one of them in his twenties
do not stop questioning the
size of the houses that surrounded it
okay they are ecological is very
beautiful but then what are they
great
annoyed I told them that mine does not
was only 120 square meters that
when the whole family recomposed
was there we were still 5 he
there was also an office space and a
cat but he did not bother when m
it’s really north that had me
turlupiner and for several weeks
after I tried to convince myself of
opposite
but too late the seed was sown two
years later in the spring of 2008
that is to say almost ten years ago so
almost 60 years old for my cat I decided
to write an article about the small habitat
during my research I fell
on an incredible guy
” I schaeffer an American who had
builds his house of 9 m² on a
trailer
I got in touch with him
to have pictures and there it was
love at first sight with this year at all
this tiny house in French
true if I go back a few years
before when I was 23
I was already totally a fan of
american philosopher named henry
david thoreau he had built his
house of 14 square meters on the edges
of the walden pond a concord in
far from boston Jeff Schaffer 10s
to inspire bulls so I was
naturally conquered I read every
writings of jay fehr who like his house
in favor of being small then I
downloaded all size images
is house that I could find on
Internet
that’s where the seed was sprouting for
as much as it will have taken me
wait a few more years before
to go from dream to reality
we are in early 2013 while I have
long meditated on my course of
life looking at the sea next to the
peace I live in is now
Normandy
I told myself that my time had come
but not to finish between four
boards
I reassure you but to start a
new life
an adorable wooden houses
I then went through all the
play French laws
to know how to build then
moved and finally park this
tiny house I drew but
foreground by having only a few
pictures of naouss american size under
the hand
yes I noticed that Americans do not
were building techniques with
very small kitchens because it does not
not much cooking so it took
take up this typical French challenge of
build tiny gastronomically
compatible after all that I went
see a friend of the carpenter so he
helps me to design the structure of the
first thain and french aos both
months of construction were a real pleasure
a couple of organic arborist friends
greeted me in their orchards
I was in the middle of hundreds of
apple trees in bloom a few meters
of a marsh flown over by storks in
a few kilometers from the sea a corner of
paradise
the day of the friends who came to visit me
or give me some help and the
evening I began to price makes them
to get them into my
future living space of 10 square meters
with a mezzanine of four meters
square and yes my house is barely over
great that your room or that your
bathroom even have that your
dressing
my house is tiny and yet
it’s a real house
so before I go further I will
you give me a glimpse of its volume
imagine that I’m going home tonight
at tiny home sweet home
what a pleasure to come home after
having spent such a beautiful afternoon at
theater clermont ferrand on my couch
red on which I usually
ask my little backpack oh but he
it’s a little chilly
that I think has turned on my woodstove
of pocket
but by the way , what am I going to
to cook in my gourmet kitchen
mans compatible tonight I do not know
I forgot to close the door of the
bathroom and wc this morning in
leaving I had to be a bit stressed
why
it will also I set up my mail
but maybe before I’m going to climb
on banide than in hell to go from my
stairs here to rest 5
minutes
now you see better what
it may look like inside and
externally a size nor to the
particularity of being built on a
great trailer which allows him to be
towed by a van or a good
car
so my house can move even went
up to 80 km highway time
just now I told you that the
size nor is a real house that’s a
real house because it has everything
great
a terrace an open front door
a fully equipped kitchen a corner
living room an office area a bathroom
toilets a jeanine beast for the
sleeping
it is well insulated it is designed
like his big sisters german or
Swedish wooden frame with a
excellent airtightness which
does it consume almost three
times nothing that can
time also minimizes sheaths
electrical and piping
so it’s intrinsically very
energy efficient so I’m going to
now allow to respond to
three questions that arises fairly
often about the state is born and that you
you may ask yourself
at this moment the first
question
but what is the difference with a
camper then the main
difference is that there timing is designed
for permanent use it’s a house
and not for seasonal use
other differences are the quality of
used materials
50% lower price design
and aesthetics
and then there is almost no
size is not the same
we are here rather in the tailor-made
size nor corresponds to his or her
inhabitants
which brings me to the second question
but how much can we live in this
tiny cute house so there is
who decides to live there alone and that’s
comfort at the limit of luxury
and then there are those who try
the adventurous to two what is perfect
to experience true love
finally and well to others including the
Belgian friends who are trying the adventurous
two with their children they can
Taste enough of the joys of education
benevolent in the infinitely small and
from what he tells me it is only
happiness finally comes third and
last question that is but if I
had to live in size neither times nor months
but what will I wear
with me like to do it’s the famous
obligatory passage to all candidates
a life in size is not sorting his
business and keep only the hundred
skies
it was at the time I had taken a
library like this one so
to calibrate the volume of my business
that he would go back to my future home
I reassure you nevertheless utensils of
kitchen and dishes was not included
in French gastronomy requires you
will understand it so every day I
added something in this
books library books
trinkets and when they were
filled and that there were still
goods that I wanted to keep then I
had to make a choice is this choice it’s
that of the 100 skies winged sometimes
difficult but it is indispensable and
once in my size nor did I
realized that if I wanted to
buy me a book or someone else
will do something that I wanted
keep then I had to removed some
morning thing
it is the principle of communicating vessels
an object between another spell then
finally matawinie invited to live
better with less and logic
of material accumulation which is that of
our society the most prison a
visit to a furniture store or
decoration leaves me totally
marble
if one day you are invited by a friend
who lives in size is no longer within range
especially not something material
that could create in him a case of
terrible conscience especially if it’s
from the complete collection of the pleiad
or 3350 episode of most beautiful life
in collector’s box did not bring him
rather a good little homemade dish does
with love while enjoying this dish
then you will appreciate how the
less space is optimized which makes
save time on the everyday
I forgot a fork
just reach out you can me
pass the salt you like a quarter turn
and here it is and after the meal
comes the time of mini storage
possibly because all mini household
is mini in a tiny house
certainly make his bed
squatting on the mezzanine is not
easy and requires a bit of
flexibility personally it gives me
a very good reason for not doing
my bed
imagine then that this house ends
to save you time
this rare and precious commodity in
our world that goes to 100 an hour a
time that we can put back
to reconnect with oneself with
the others or with nature and
by the way if you choose to put
your size born in a country corner
you will be constantly invited to go
put your nose out
because in addition to technically it is
very complicated to do paces
in so far we do not feel
narrow in an outfit because she owns
a lot of windows
so that the look can be
go away without ever being stopped
by a wall that went to bed
with snows altaïr and vega in the
roof window or be bathed by the
moonlight is an experience
absolutely magnificent cosmic
thanks to its large number of windows the
size nor is it also turning into
excellent observatory for birds
or animals and talking about animals
I must confess that I have
sometimes a side a little bear is then
morning house turns into a den
bear
when our approaches play big mail where
I growl but it does not really last
a long time because alive tiny it’s
also live in a spirit of
sharing and communication
first because it takes a road
sufficiently clear to do especially
the houses of cap m 32 years old and two
meters fifty five wide
then because it will be easier to
pull a water hose and an extension
from a friendly neighbor
nearby if he live in tennis and
go off the beaten track
living year is also creating the link
with the people who welcome your
auburn house on their land it’s
the case of bernard a genius handyman
handyman who poses his size neither
three or six months in people in
exchange of minor works
they discover new
landscapes quite regularly and is done
new happy neighbors at each
time and it never smells moved
could not we imagine together that
in the very near future
the tiny can also come
replace social housing or
serve as emergency shelter and is said
included in non
Plot
we could also imagine that
tiny are grouped together in order to
constitute a small ephemeral hamlet or
not always friendly
the environment then wish that
tomorrow ni size and its place like
new type of habitat and new way
to live because this tiny house
believe me has huge potential
thank you
