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 pubic 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.
However, before I can move forward, I need to clear the way.
The “Smashing Pots” Philosophy
Back in the 90s, when I was living in Redwood Valley in Mendocino County and working as a potter, I sometimes used a traditional “potter’s” method of clearing the studio and mind. I smashed pots. It’s not a violent thing; it’s actually fun. It literally and mentally gives one a fresh start and a clear head.
That is what this post is about.
I am officially returning to tiny house design in 2026 with a focus on new designs and a new direction—structures that prioritize livability over the strict 8.5′ road limit. 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.”
This isn’t just a sale; it’s a closure of the first era of my 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 dreamer, or someone who wants to better understand 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.
