We are building a tiny house!
That's right! Students of Michigan State University's School of Planning, Design and Construction are coming together to build a tiny house. The build is a collaborative effort between Interior Design, Construction Management, Urban Planning, Civil Engineering and Landscape architecture students.
1: Planning and Design |
Student leaders have attended a tiny house building workshop in order to prepare for the build. There they learned all about the real-world applications of tiny houses, design and engineering considerations, and much more. We spent the rest of the fall semester planning the build and designing innovative features to the home.

2: Construction |
The students are working on weekends to build the tiny house. We are working Friday through Sunday, 9am to 7pm. Don't worry - We're working in 4 hour shifts. According to our calculations, the building processes will last from March 4th, 2016 to April 22nd, 2016. The build will give students the opportunity to gain hands-on skills, as well teach them about sustainable living options.
