“The Sun House” - a micro home
There are many reasons to live small: simplifying, avoiding mortgages, achieving a low-impact lifestyle, ease of heating/cooling/maintaining...the list goes on.
From yurts to timber frames, shelter building has always been a teaching theme at North House. This tiny home is an 8’ x 16’ butt-and-pass structure built with timbers sources locally from Hedstrom’s Lumber Company. The microhouse was built over the course of a month in December 2018 by a stalwart crew of North House veterans, including North House founder and tiny house enthusiast Mark Hansen, long-time North House instructor, carpenter, and Grand Marais jack-of-all-trades Andy Keith, and North House artisans-in-residence Mike Loeffler and Angela Robins.
This tiny house would also make a wonderful vacation cottage, writer's cabin, or even guest house. Includes drawings for modular bathroom add-on (model pictured above). North House can assist in coordinating loading and transportation, but buyer is ultimately responsible for transportation and all related costs.
The house is 14' tall including the skids it sits on and weighs and estimated 7,000lbs.
