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.
who’s lot are you building on and how can i talk to him about tiny homes? :)
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.
Nice it’s a fun and supportive community down there. I’d recommend it. Thanks for taking interest. I’ll be sure to share more about it. I just posted a video with another material you might be interested in for insulation: sheep wool – http://challenge.mattprindle.com/be-open-to-a-crazy-concept/
I’m thinking about spinning my own yarn, so yeah; it’d be interesting to care for animals only to put some of them inside my walls! If I can do it that way, that is; I might have to do as you did and get boxes of it elsewhere.
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!
Hi there Monty, you guessed it! I’ve been down in Central Mexico chasing some childhood dreams ;) excited to get back early spring to continue with the build and updates. Pura vida!
