A unique feature is an office, unlike any we’ve seen in a tiny house until now. It’s built a few feet off the floor, above a storage cupboard in the middle of the stairway! It has a seating space that faces a shelf for your laptop, and there is a window to see outside. If you are heading up the stairs, you step right over the office. Jessie wanted to define a space for doing office work rather than having that activity occupy the living room or bedroom.
“It was satisfying to start with a design and work to see it through to reality. Every inch and detail has been thought through and worked out, and adjusted. It’s come out pretty close to what I had in mind.” Jessie Litven.
Sustainable materials
Jessie took care to source used, surplus, or salvaged materials from a variety of sources. The stair treads are made from an old bookcase, and the post supporting the corner of the loft is a Douglas fir piece from a centuries-old building.
