Interior Designer, Jessica Helgerson has been living in this ingenious and sustainable tiny house with her family for the last several years. It sits on a five-acre property on Sauvie Island, an agricultural island on the Columbia River 15 minutes north of Portland, Oregon, USA. The tiny house is an interesting experiment in reduction and reuse not only because it is only 540 square feet or because it was remodeled using nearly exclusively reclaimed materials, but because the building itself is now being recycled for the fourth time. The layout of the project effectively makes use of the available spaces: a great room houses the kitchen, dining room and living room with large, comfortable, built in sofas that double as twin beds for guests.
Tiny house living is being embraced by many as people seek a lifestyle that is more simple. What are your thoughts? xx
