Behind the scenes at Tiny House Construction Company
Hey there! We’re Tiny House Construction Company and like the name says, we construct beautiful tiny houses for those looking to cutback on their living square footage or complement their current living space.
Take a look at some of the processes and tradesmen involved in building a THCC house!
s surprising as some might find it, not all Hollywood A-listers and sports stars live in the McMansions that are typically expected of… Hollywood A-listers and sports stars.
HOWEVER, there are those few, those very special few who have decided to resist the expected and live an easier, more simple, and tiny lifestyle!
Kicking off these rebel celebs is A-lister and Oscar Award winner Mathew McConaughey who lived in a customized 2004 Airstream trailer in 2008, only 7 years ago! Although no longer a bachelor and having expanded his footprint, McConaughey still has his Airstream parked in Malibu where he uses it as an office and headquarters for his music, production, and clothing company, j.k. livin. McConaughey might have left the tiny house but the tiny house hasn’t left him as he’s currently in the midst of customizing two more Airstream trailers! Check out more pictures of McConaughey’s surfer Airstream.
“If it looks good but it’s not functional, then it’s not worth anything.” – Mathew McConaughey
Next is Vincent Kartheiser who although is a fan of tiny house living, put his 603 sq.ft. Hollywood tiny house up for sale after living in it for more than 10 years. Kartheiser worked with designer and builder, Funn Roberts, to not only make a wicked bed that can be raised to the roof and lowered to the floor by pulley system, but also create a Japanese-Industrial style within his humble abode.
A huge advocate of simple living is Tom Shadyac. “Who the hell is Tom Shadyac?” you ask… well settle down. You’re probably not alone in failing to know who one of the best directors of our era is and who’s hits include (but aren’t limited to) Ace Ventura, The Nutty Professor, Patch Adams, and Bruce Almighty. What many also don’t know is that in the pursuit to further enjoy life and focus on what matters to him, Shadyac denounced the typical standard of success and downsized from his 17,000 square-foot mansion to a 1000 sq.ft. mobile home in Malibu.
Last but not least is the Toronto Blue Jay’s number one prospect, Daniel Norris. Norris is definitely not your typical professional athlete. He has a $2 million signing bonus, a deal with a Nike, a consistent 92mph fast ball, and a… 1978 Westfalia van that he lives in and parks at Wal-Mart… He’s a… Well he sort of… Just check out Vice Sport’s video.
iny houses are EVERYWHERE! In every corner of the globe there’s a beautiful, efficient tiny house just waiting to be admired by more and more tiny living advocates. If you haven’t seen them and therefore don’t believe me then what else can I say but… “they’re TINY houses!”
From China to Chile, tiny house residents are cutting back and living simply. What’s really interesting is how each tiny house reflects the latest trends in sustainable living along with their unique culture and heritage from which they were devised!
Take a look at some beautiful tiny houses that will not only make you want to live tiny but travel the world as well!
