"I'm on board with the tiny house movement, conditionally. The very stupidest way to go about it would be spending high-tens of thousands of dollars on a twee faux-craftsman dollhouse with that useless decorated prettiporch hanging off the end, literally consuming 25% of the available floor space. Having the door at the end turns the whole place into a tunnel. All that wood means your \"portable\" house is the equivalent of a trailer loaded high with logs.\r\n\r\nWhat makes good sense is having the entrance in the middle on a long side, opening directly into common area so there's no loss to hallway space. French Doors. Possibly featuring a fold-up deck with canvas roof and screen sides so you have a bug-free porch for good-weather use. Steel frames, sheet aluminum and styrofoam insulation are your friends. For air-streaming, make the front curved like a horse trailer. Don't squander living space with sloped roofs. Dormer windows? Asymmetric roof? Are you insane? It would be wise to house the sleeping/living (dry) activities and kitchen/bathroom (wet) in separate trailers. Expand as needed. You and the partner can haul them driving separate pickup trucks."
