  • Tiny Yurt Living in Northern Minnesota

    Grace Brogan and John Kamman live in a yurt. It’s a squat round structure with lattice walls, a dome skylight and a few layers of canvas over the whole thing — think of a tent with stiff walls. Tents are great in the summer, but this is winter. In northern Minnesota.” – Minnesota Public Radio News

  • Modern Tiny House in Ashland, Oregon

    This build is actually a retrofit from an old trailer with a shell (look at the last photo in the slide show below…it’s literally hard to believe what this tiny used to look like).
