View the Archive: Full Tiny House Plan Set
If you’ve been following my work since the early days (2008–2012), you know that I spent over a decade obsessed with solving the puzzle of tiny homes. I drew hundreds of concepts, thousands of blog posts, published books on tiny house design, and spent years arguing that 120 square feet was enough.
Then, in 2019, I stopped.
I stepped away from drawing in public to focus on my job in tech. It was a necessary break. But now it’s 2026, and I’ve felt a pull to the light.
Before committing to that direction, retiring the existing archive makes sense.
The “Smashing Pots” Philosophy
There’s a traditional potter’s method of clearing the studio and mind — smashing pots. I smashed pots. It’s not a violent act — breaking the work resets both the space and the thinking behind it. and a clear head.
That is what this post is about.
I am officially retiring the tiny house design archive in 2026, closing out a body of work that has accumulated over the past several years. But to fully commit to that future, I need to let go of the past.
The Final Send-Off
I recently found my full archive of designs from an old computer that I thought had been lost. Rather than letting them sit in digital purgatory, I’ve decided to bundle them all together for one last “send-off.”
The bundle marks the end of the first era of this work.
Inside the Archive Bundle, you’ll find the work that defined my contributions to the first decade in the tiny house movement:
- The “Mendocino” Series: Plans like the Anchor Bay, Potter Valley, Boonville, and Philo—named after the tiny Northern California communities that were a strong influence in my youth and where my grandmother’s cabin stood in Redwood Valley.
- The Experiments: Designs like the Carrack and the Westport that tested the limits of scale.
- The Library: All four of my design books, including the Tiny House Design System and the 1st Edition of Tiny House Floor Plans (no longer available in print).
What Happens Next?
I am keeping this bundle available for a short time only. Once I feel the “shelves are clear,” I will be permanently retiring these plans to focus entirely on the new 2026 concepts.
If you are a builder, a builder, a researcher, or someone studying how a tiny house is assembled how a tiny house is assembled, I hope these serve you well. They were a joy to create, and I’m glad they are finding new homes before I turn the page.
