Building a Hempcrete Tiny House

home is where the heart is

Kokoro: Japanese for ‘HEART’, not as the body part, but as a feeling.

Building my dream tiny house has been a journey back to the untamed freedom and boundless wonder I felt as a child in my backyard treehouse. It’s a canvas for collaboration, where hands and hearts come together to craft a space that sparks profound moments of connection and inspiration. Along the way, it’s become more than just a project—it’s an invitation to reimagine what home truly means.

Watch the building process!

Here’s playlist of videos I created to document the process.

    • Hey Alex, I’m building it at Green Anchors a lot in St. Johns in Portland, OR. Here’s a link you should be able to find the contact information on there and reach out: greenanchorspdx.com

      Are you planing on building a tiny house here in Portland?

      • I’m planning on looking into green anchors and if I can eventually rent a space to build on. I was unaware of the natural building materials you’re using, like hempcrete, the heat treated wood & what you covered it in. Its all very interesting.

  1. Hey Matt, how is the build going? Looking for the final outcome, but not seeing anything – so maybe you are off traveling again. Very interested to see how it all turns out for you!
