Tumbleweed is a company founded by Jay Shafer that sells tiny houses; a house that might be smaller than your closet. Concerned about the affects of larger houses on the environment, Jay built himself a 89 square feet house in 1997 and since then he has been building greener and smaller houses for others. He takes care of light, warmth, energy efficiency and proportion while composing a home. "I have made the most of each cozy interior by minimizing transitional areas like hallways and stairwells and by using otherwise unusable space as storage", adds Jay.

Tumbleweed offers three plans for small houses: Box Bungalows, House To Go and cottages. Each plan has different house models to choose from. In 1997, Jay built a 'House To Go' for himself called 'EPU' (refer to the image in left). Jay also provides workshop on how you can design and build your own tiny house.

It is a great honor for us to have Jay on our blog as he is no less than a celebrity. Catch his exclusive interview with us below:
