Abel Zyl has been creating whimsical tiny structures since the beginning of the modern tiny house movement, and is a founding member of the American Tiny House Association. You can find all his work on the Zyl Vardos website. Below are recent photos that he posted on Instagram. If you want one of his homes you’ll have to get in line – as you can imagine, his work is in high demand.



The Fortune Cookie is one of his more recognizable designs. This one is new and improved.

He’s known for his custom round windows.


Looks like a cozy home.

A true bardo, love the curved walls. Love the Dutch door.

Amazing woodwork above and below.

If you want to experience a Zyl Vardos tiny house yourself, this one might still be at the The Caravan, Tiny House Hotel, in Portland, Oregon.
