This is a tiny house project that I designed and completed in Nov 2019 to provide housing for a homeless couple in Marin. This stationary tiny house measures 12 x 10 feet and is 15 feet tall. It features a large loft, a deck built from reclaimed redwood and foam panel insulation. Total cost to build was $3500 for materials with labor donated by my non-profit. The design follows guidelines for tiny house construction from AB 2176 - housing crisis emergency shelter, where the primary use is for personal space with facilities for cooking and personal hygiene located elsewhere on site. To deal with regulations concerning zoning, building and safety, and local objections relating to affordable housing, this tiny house is located on a "sanctuary site" which is a parcel of land that has been dedicated in perpetuity for conservation and sanctuary purposes. Federal RLUIPA laws apply that supersede local regulations and objections from neighbors. As far as I know, RLUIPA is the strongest defense against inhumane housing regulations that are the primary cause of the housing crisis. RLUIPA has been applied successfully to construct tiny house villages over the objections of neighbors and local planning authorities. My non-profit is planning to construct more tiny houses at our sanctuary site in Marin as well as other sites in California. The design will be updated to facilitate mass production of tiny houses through the use of components fabricated with a CNC router. I am currently working on the next version of the design that includes components from the wikihouse project that will enable rapid assembly while minimizing cost and waste material. https://photos.app.goo.gl/3RrY5z8Xcd6iBhEd7
