Dan: [...] ]]> http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/10/interview-with-dan-louche/feed/ 0 http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/09/this-gypsy-wagon-is-a-mobile-spa-and-sauna/ http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/09/this-gypsy-wagon-is-a-mobile-spa-and-sauna/#comments Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:00:10 +0000 Alex http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/?p=1854 This Gypsy Wagon is a spa and sauna on wheels.  Yeah, a mobile spa!  What does this have to do with tiny houses? Well for one… It’s just cool.  But if you ever think about tiny house communities like I do, you know that extra facilities would be really useful for the residents. And in [...] ]]> http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/09/this-gypsy-wagon-is-a-mobile-spa-and-sauna/feed/ 0 http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/08/camping-cacoon-is-like-a-mini-a-frame/ http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/08/camping-cacoon-is-like-a-mini-a-frame/#comments Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:55:16 +0000 Alex http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/?p=1827 Derek I think you’re going to like this one.  It’s sort of a mini A-frame house.  Anyways it definitely makes an awesome little cabin for camping, playing music, hanging out, or whatever. Like lots of the other really small structures I’ve featured here, it can be used as an office or hobby room too.

What an inspiring place to do your work, art, writing, music, or to live. This is not a backyard office, it’s the real office of the architecture firm Selgas [...] ]]> http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/07/an-office-in-the-middle-of-the-forest/feed/ 1 http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/06/yurt-lady/ http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/06/yurt-lady/#comments Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:00:17 +0000 Alex http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/?p=1811 She has been living in a yurt for about 3 years.  At 9,300 feet in rural Colorado.  She has been writing about her life there for the last few months and showing everyone pictures and videos of what it’s like.

During the day it hides away easily within the roof and actually makes the ceiling look beautiful with paneling and lighting.  This one lifts and hides away electronically. No need to make [...] ]]> http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/03/small-space-furniture-13-hideaway-bed/feed/ 0 http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/02/village-of-mongolian-yurts/ http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/02/village-of-mongolian-yurts/#comments Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:00:53 +0000 Alex http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/?p=1753 I ran into an awesome yurt village that’s located in Washpond Lane, Swanage, Dorset, UK.  It’s in the Herston Camp Site and they have authentic Mongolian yurts that are made in Mongolia by real Mongolians (that’s what their website says anyway!). Ever since I found out about yurts I’ve been a pretty big fan.  There’s [...] ]]> http://www.tinyhousetalk.com/2010/09/02/village-of-mongolian-yurts/feed/ 0
