We have an entire tag devoted to tiny homes, but this is the first we’ve featured built by a middle-schooler. 14-year-old Sicily and the tiny house she built are both amazing and adorable. She named it La Petite Maison, and it’s 128 square-feet of efficiently organized space. It has a working kitchen and bathroom, a queen-sized loft bed, a bunch of storage — and it’s on wheels.
Sicily and her father started building the house as a school project, and after his untimely passing, she wanted to finish it in his memory. With the help of her family and lots of friends, she did just that — and chronicled the entire process, complete with photos, on her blog. She also gave a talk at TEDYouth while she was still working on it, so you can hear all about the huge (and tiny) project in her own words.
Amazing work. And good for her.
and do check out her blog – she has real style – watch this one!
Wow, I wish I had grown up in a family with people that are handy and fearless.
I’m going to use a tiny house like this to run away and live off the grid in the wilds of North Western Ontario.
