About This Course

A Comprehensive 101

This is going to be a conversation about how to design your own tiny house. Fact is tiny houses HAVE to be suited for their occupants, there is no 'one-size-fits-all' but there are things to consider and think about in your daily life. I will share some of the important questions to ask yourself, some things to consider and give you some general rules and background of design to help make the appropriate decisions. Design is daunting but it's also systematic and with tiny houses, form really does follow function, there are reasons that one strategy makes sense over others. In addition to talking about the design of the actual house I will touch on designing your lifestyle!

There are approximately 2 hours of information relating to design, materials, and processes - as it applies to tiny homes. This course is formatted to provide the information relevant to you and enable you to make the best decision for yourself. If you are excited about tiny houses and how they may empower you this course is for you!

Being an Architect, I became interested in Tiny Houses a few years back. Actually I am planning to build my first one and looked for a course where I can get some insight of what kind of materials can be used, some tips and tricks based on experiences. This (full four part) course gives you a great overview, a solid foundation and based on that you can make some critical decisions in order to design your own tiny house.
Despite the fact that I am from Europe, where things might work a bit differently, I found this course very interesting.

One of my top courses on Udemy.com. I hope to someday live tiny, either constructing my own abode or purchasing one ready-made. Either way, these courses give me a detailed foundation to make accurate decisions.

The is a huge amount of really good advice but I am not sure I can apply it in South Africa. I enjoyed finding out how it is done in the USA. I will have to do a lot more research about what is available in South Africa.
