Description: This is the building of tiny home on the Oregon coast. This home was featured in the Washington Post article "The Rise of the Pandemic Shed". washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/04/05/shed-plans-pandemic-families It was built using our 10x20-S1 Modern shed design and our 10x10 modern shed plans icreatables.com/sheds/shed-plans-modern This is what the owner said about it: "Over the last 3 summers I used the plans as a starting point to build a “tiny cabin.” We built on the Oregon coast and worked on it during vacations I found your plans to be great and a really good starting point. And the support was very helpful. I called early on about some changes I wanted to make and your team gave the perfect solutions. As you can see in the pictures, I actually built two “sheds.” One is the main living quarters 10X20 and the half-shed is the bathroom, 10X10. The reasons we did two vs. a bigger one are; A) No permit required for structure 200 sq/ft or less and B) friends can pitch tents on the lot while we are there and the bathroom is accessible without going through the living area. Here are the features: • Added 6 foot “carport” to the side for storage and shelter • Foundation is cinder blocks with concreted brackets to support the floor beams. Crawl space gap covered with ½” mesh wire to keep critters out and then blocks stacked around the perimeter for a more finished look. • Metal “Snap Lok” roofing. • Increased rafter size to 2X10 to allow for insulation and dead air space, with eve vents. • In addition, the floor and walls are insulated, outer wall sheathed in 7/16” OSB, wrapped in Tyvek and then sided with T-111. • Living space is finished in “Beetle kill” blue pine shiplap walls and luxury vinyl plank floor. • Bathroom is finished in sheetrock walls/ceiling and roll vinyl flooring. Has shower, toilet and sink, plus has lots of storage. • Both spaces are wired, plumbed and heated. • Site was formerly an RV spot so we treated it like an RV; Hooks up via 1 heavy extension cord, a garden hose and propane for hot water (external on-demand heater) and range. Septic is a 400 gallon storage tank, pumped once per year. • Side door on living space with a deck between it and bathroom. • 2 additional windows on back of living space for view of the bay It was a really fun project and we are happy with the results. The plan was perfect, we especially like how open and light it is, feels much bigger than 200 sq/feet. Sloped roof and upper windows make all the difference."
