Showroom and Flex Unit(s)

Our commitment to environmental sustainability and the health of the people that live in our homes is demonstrated in the extra care that goes into our construction and choice of materials. These showroom allow for tiny houses to not be so “tiny” with models combining to create 400-1500square feet!

Our showroom models are currently being built for display and are funded through a local micro-loan program that sees local investors from all income brackets be given the opportunity to grow their money while being a part of something in the community. This model is simultaneously serving as the showroom for a local co-housing community in Nevada City.

A “base” unit of kitchen, bathroom, and living room “studio” serves as a stand alone home for many at 400 ft² An additional “flex” unit (or two) allows for that living space to expand up to 1500 sq.ft. and is designed to be connected by an exterior hallway, enclosed porch, or breezeway.

Reach out to learn more about this combo unit, our model 1 bedroom, our co-housing community, or any of the powerful initiatives that we launch!
