'First Light" Tiny House
This project came about slightly differently than our normal build process. This client had been dreaming of building her own tiny house for close to 4 years before she took the plunge and hired award-winning architecture firm - First Light Studio - to design her dream tiny house. They worked together to come up with the concept design and then a year or so later, approached us to help bring the project to reality. Usually, we do our own design work in-house, so it was a bit different working alongside Anna and her team at First Light Studio. We're just in love with the design, and think they did an excellent job for the client. The detailing and finishes are just second to none, the photos really don't do it justice! We're extremely proud of this build and think that the design has really nailed the balance between form and function, but we'll let you be the judge...
