Deek and his new micro cabin are on his latest episode of Tiny Yellow House out for MakeZine. This is another entertaining, funny, and educational video of Derek and his creations.
He’s going to show you details of his newer micro cabin which he calls the “Box Lady”. It can be used for the homeless, flea markets, displays, camping, storage, or anything else you can think of.
It was made from 35% salvaged materials and costs just $178 to construct. If you like this project, you’ll love Derek’s book Humble Homes, Simple Shacks… It has dozens of awesome DIY designs/projects.
This is a small cabin on wheels, although it seems pretty large when you compare it to most of the tiny houses that I talk about on here. I think they call them Park Model Cabins.
It’s designed much like other park model houses but it has a nicer feel to it because of the cabin-like features. Build by Nor’Wester Industries Inc. it really is quite beautiful inside and out.
Kitchen is large enough to use everyday, it has a bedroom, there’s a nice deck, plenty of windows, storage, large loft, and the exterior is nice to look at. It really looks like a job well done.

I know that 900 square feet is spacious to many of us but I think it’s an appropriate size for families. I’ve seen this video before a couple of months back but wanted to post it here in case you haven’t seen it.
They call it the Penguin House and it was designed by architect Yasuhiro Yamashita.
The most unique feature of the home is how the architect designed light to come in through various places by creating windows on all corners of the house. This helps it feel larger than it is and also helps brings the outside space in.
It covers just 322 square feet as a lot but the floor space is 899 square feet to be exact. Yamashita makes rooms feel larger by utilizing space that’s usually wasted, including a floating kitchen cabinet and the most interesting staircase.
The house also features high ceilings with light coming in through all rooms. It has three stories which includes a music studio and more. Enjoy the video below.
If you frequent Derek Diedricksen’s blog RelaxShax you might already know about our day over in Matlacha, Florida doing some tiny house hunting (trying to make it sound manly). We found plenty of funky structures that we’ll both be sharing with you, and we filmed some video too.
Hi everyone we have a new guest blogger, Theresa Stevens who is an awesome samba dancer. She lives in a really small space in northern California and today she’s going to take you on a tour of her wonderful little house.
You’ll get to see her outdoor shower, mini kitchen, bedroom loft, outside living room, and more. I’ll let her take it away on video…
