Boulder Couple Builds 125 Square-Foot House
With grand designs on minimizing their housing footprint, Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller have spent the last 10 months building the tiny home of their dreams."It's 19 feet long wall to wall, Smith said. The interior square-footage is about 125 square feet. Room enough for gun safe, reloading bench, beer fridge, computer & LazyBoy. And I'll leave the toilet outside where it won't stink up the place. Yep, it could work. The interior layout consists of a sitting area, kitchen and bathroom. A vaulted ceiling makes room for a sleeping loft that can accommodate a queen-size mattress. Their design incorporates several sustainable elements, including: reclaimed windows, beetle-kill lumber, solar power and a composting toilet.
