World's Smallest House

Jay Shafer says that he has created and lived in the worlds smallest house. Since 1997 he has been living in a house smaller than some people’s closets. I call the first of my little hand built houses Tumbleweed.

My decision to inhabit just 89 square feet arose from some concerns I had about the impact a larger house would have on the environment, and because I do not want to maintain a lot of unused or unusable space. My houses have met all of my domestic needs without demanding much in return. The simple, slower lifestyle my homes have afforded is a luxury for which I am continually grateful.
