The Tiny House
// For Sale By Owner //
In March 2020, Travis Burke and Laysea Hughes found themselves spending quarantine in north island New Zealand. During that time they stayed in accommodations from safari tents to container homes, and having daily discussions about the desire to live minimally , off-grid and with an eco-conscious mindset. With each of them having 5 years of van-life under their belt, a tiny house felt like the natural progression. They spent the next several months designing the tiny home of their dreams using a 3D design program and Pinterest board to capture the aesthetic. When they returned to San Diego, CA later that year they bought a flatbed trailer and begun building in January of 2021. Laysea’s father drove out to CA with his airstream and lived on the land with them for the duration of the build, graciously offering his 40+ years of second generation carpentry knowledge. The result is this hand-crafted, fully custom, modern and minimal yet elegant Tiny House. Below is a list of highlights & features of the home.
