From design to reality
The goal is to provide both superior customer experience and tremendous value for my clients. I’m collaborating with local builders to design and build custom homes/buildings which are under 1000 square feet. Whether you need a studio, guest cottage, barn, tiny home on wheels, mobile office, mobile bar, mobile store, mobile concession stand, etc. I can help. Since everything is custom to your specifications the sky is the limit based on your financial investment.
The Linden Retreat: I have designed a Tiny House on Wheels (THOW). It’s 24′ long x 8’6″ wide x 13’6″ high (from ground). It has a shed style roof, celestial windows which allow the natural light in, high ceilings, sleeping loft, spacious galley kitchen, large bathroom, storage, and utility shed to name a few. See the photo gallery for more pictures. I lived in it for a full year through NW Montana weather, so I can have a better understanding of how it works. It was a great experience and I loved it. I also have rented it out successfully on Airbnb.
