This tiny backyard house is ideal as a \u201cgranny flat\u201d, guest house, home office, artist\u2019s studio, or a place to stay while renting out the main house for extra income. Also called an Accessory Dwelling Unit (A.D.U.), the house is purposely made small (14\u2019 x 14\u2019) for\u00a0zoning and land use compliance; this also helps respect the neighbors\u2019 privacy, and keeps the building affordable, easy to build, and easy to heat.<\/p>\n

It is intended for use by one or two people, and includes a sofa bed (queen) that folds up during the day to make\u00a0room for entertaining or working at the computer or watching television. In one corner is a small kitchen with a mini refrigerator, hotplate, toaster oven or microwave, plus cabinets for pots and pans and kitchen utensils. Another feature of the kitchen is twin trash receptacles that dispose of wet or recyclable trash from the counter and into an outdoor receptacle \u2013 so no more taking out the trash!<\/p>\n

In another corner is the home entertainment center featuring a large-screen TV, and a computer desk that converts into a 5\u2019 table for three. The TV is easily seen from the bed when the sofa is rolled out. There\u2019s a closet next to the sleeping area for pillows and blankets.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the far corner is another closet for clothes, overcoats, and suitcases. Behind a wall in the rear of the room is the tiled bathroom, with a toilet and sink including storage underneath the counter. And here\u2019s the kicker: there is no tub or indoor shower. You just turn on the shower from the inside, wait till it\u2019s nice and hot, then step outside into a partially enclosed cedar outdoor shower and enjoy nature! You can then run back inside (only 2\u2019 away) and turn off the water from where your warm towel awaits you. How refreshing, and what a way to start the morning!<\/p>\n

We were able to fit so much into the building through economy of space. In most interior designs, corners are not used to best advantage \u2013 they contain articles that are seldom used, such as lamps, extra chairs, etc. We have made maximum use of the corners, with only the convertible sofa bed in the middle of the room; this, together with the cathedral ceiling, gives the house a more spacious feeling.<\/p>\n

Hand drawn plans include 20 pages of detailed, illustrated instructions with a materials list to build this tiny backyard house.<\/p>\n
