DIY Tiny House Plans

1. The Homesteader Cabin

The Homestead Cabin is among the most popular tiny house plans thanks to the gorgeous exteriors and a decently spacious interior that will ensure a life of peace and tranquility. The house itself is a 12’x24’ one with a 12/12 roof and a loft. The lower level of the house has enough space to fit in a living room, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and even a laundry closet. The loft, which spans about half the house, can either be left as it is or utilized to construct a second floor for even more space.1. The Homesteader Cabin

This tiny house plan is for all those folks who want to stick with a basic design that provides a high level of utility. While this house, measuring 8’x12’, is significantly smaller than the previous one – its primary advantage lies in the simplicity of the design. This is definitely a great choice for those of you guys that are somewhat apprehensive about the idea of building your own home. The design is easy to implement and, with a little creativity, this home can really be turned into a show place.

If you happen to own a small, mobile business that requires you to move your mobile stall around a lot, then this is the plan for you. This isn’t exactly suitable for living but serves great as a mobile market. You can easily set this house up at different farmer’s markets or other vending areas where you can conduct your business. The Market House itself is a very compact 5’x8’ house and features a glass window in the front, next to the door.

This is especially great if you’re looking to live off the grid in a place that does not have access to electricity. So if you’re a person who loves the idea of living in solitude in a self-sufficient manner, this is just the house for you.
