This was one of the first tiny house designs I created when I started designing tiny houses. It’s named for a tiny community in Mendocino County, California that seems perfectly sized for a house this small.

Free Tiny House Plans – Philo 12

It measures just 8×12, so it has less than 100 square feet. As you can see it also has a loft that fits a queen sized bed, a bathroom with a 32″ square shower, sink, and toilet. It has a tiny kitchenette and desk/table too.

I once ran a blog dedicated to tiny house design, but sold it years ago. I kept all the plans but thought they were lost in a hard drive meltdown a couple years ago. I recently discovered a backup on an old computer, so I’m making this one available for free.

It is a good example of the kinds of tiny house plans I used to make. They read more like assembly instructions than blueprints. This was intentional because the people I wanted to help were owner-builders. I kept the cost low and attainable too. But like I said you can grab the Philo 12 for free.
