Designing Tiny Homes

The project challenge was to create a tiny home, easily replicable, and desirable to a wide range of individuals, that could be moved on a standard semi-truck for permanent fixture anywhere in the country. This project won the design award for the Designing with the Pros class and was accepted by a national home builder as the most feasible proposal submitted by a student designer.
