Tiny House Plans: Beavan Box Bungalow from Tumbleweed Houses

Every Thursday I’ll be featuring a random set of tiny house plans here on Tiny House Talk.

Today I’m introducing you to Tumbleweed’s Beavan Box Bungalow design.

The Beavan is one of Tumbleweed Houses latest designs in the Box Bungalow category.

As you may already know all of this company’s house plans are designed by Jay Shafer, who has been living happily in really small spaces since 1997.

That’s over ten years of extremely simple living. That’s why he’s #1 when it comes to designing micro sized spaces for humans.

Jay Shafer and Tumbleweed Tiny Houses

Jay is at the forefront of today’s tiny house movement not because he is the first person to live so simply but because he has successfully shared his amazing ideas with the world.

In his Small House Book, he shows you the current generous loopholes which allow you to bypass minimum size housing building code restrictions in most areas.

Tiny House Plans: Anderjack Box Bungalow

The Anderjack is one of Tumbleweed Houses’ designs in the Box Bungalow category, created during the early days of the modern tiny house movement.

This design was created by Jay Shafer, a pioneer of the tiny house movement who lived in small spaces since 1997. Shafer founded Tumbleweed Tiny House Company before later starting Four Lights Tiny House Company.

Jay Shafer and the Tiny House Movement

Jay Shafer helped bring tiny houses into the mainstream, not because he was the first person to live simply, but because he successfully shared his ideas with the world through his designs, workshops, and publications.

His book, The Small House Book, explores loopholes in minimum size housing building codes that can allow tiny homes in various jurisdictions. It also shares his story, research, and several of his designs in full color.
