Tiny Houses With a Big Impact

Tyler Kanczuzewski,Inovateus太阳能VP of Marketing and Sustainability, decided he needed a new place to live. Tyler is a single guy who wants to walk the walk of sustainability since he loves sustainable development ideas and is passionate about the subject.

所以他决定建一个小房子。

当泰勒发现当地开发商正在建造小屋和可持续的商业单位时，正在寻找一些人来建造他的机会。

Tyler said that 'the goal for me is a more minimalist lifestyle. A simpler life with less stuff and using less energy. My job withInovateus太阳能is to help others find sustainable solutions like solar power so I felt it was time to reflect that ideal in my choice of housing."

泰勒正在寻找带有定制颜色和设计的小屋/小屋。这栋房屋是600平方英尺，阁楼风格的设计，配有厨房，家庭房和一楼的浴室，一间阁楼卧室，门廊和阳台三个季节的房间。

“房子有很多空间，比它更大！”，泰勒说。

"Designing and building a tiny house is a journey. I needed to get creative to maximize the space and storage without any clutter. To make the most efficient use of space it made me think about what I really needed and if those things are multi-use. I realized in a new way that everything must serve a purpose if it was going to be a part of my new home.", states Tyler.

The builder Tyler chose was Provision Construction with much of the material supplied byBorkholder Building and Supply.

New Energy Homes of Nappanee, Ind. handled the design and concept. New Energy Homes sales representative Corbin Borkholder, is hoping that someday, their净零框架后框架“小屋”，can provide humanitarian and sustainable solutions to deliver low-cost housing. Their Tiny Homes are constructed for strength and energy efficiency, with durable products, like the多肋金属屋顶和墙板from McElroy Metal.

“New Energy Homesare post-frame structures, built to be affordable, with a focus on the building envelope,” Borkholder says. “It has to have a Net Zero footprint with a high-performance envelope.框架后offers an affordable, but a very durable and very dynamic system.”
