[Cypress – Tumbleweed Tiny House Co.] Could you get rid of everything that owns you and live in 400 square feet or less with just the true essentials? Might you be one of those contemporary visionaries, like tiny house pioneer Jay Shafer, who finds that “Extra stuff and extra square footage dilutes a sense of vitality”?

The tiny house movement is on a roll, and whether you decide to feather your cozy nest on wheels or on a foundation, Colorado has an abundance of tiny home resources from which to choose. And for those that want to get their feet wet, consider renting a travel trailer in Denver. You can then get used to towing it and living on or off grid.

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, Colorado Springs

Each model provides a sleeping area, full kitchen, bathroom, and a main room. The floor plans and exterior features are customizable, and Tumbleweeds qualify for the RV financing frequently offered by banks and credit unions.

The company will deliver your Tumbleweed right to your door, help you build it, and even teach you every single thing you need to know about constructing your own model in a two-day, Dream Big, Live Tiny Workshop.

Presented by actual Tumbleweed owners who built their own homes, these hands-on intensives are staged in several locations around the country, providing the perfect like-minded immersion experience designed to inspire others to take the big/small leap.

Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses, Durango

Greg Parham, Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses founder, is happy to discuss your prospective home’s design as you mountain bike down a Durango trail. Parham is a passionate cyclist and lives in his own tiny home on the Animas River with pooch Rocco. His house serves as his design and marketing office as well as the company’s model, traveling to trade shows and hosting by-appointment open houses for visitors.

Greg Parham’s Tiny House.
He is also a passionate writer and eloquently lays out his tiny house design philosophy on his informative site. With a background in both construction and architecture, he brings solid practical skills, a diverse knowledge base, the eye of a minimalist, and the heart of the tiny house movement into his very soulful operation.

Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses offers a few models Parham can replicate for you, but his decade in architectural design gives him a true zeal for coming up with custom plans that match his customers’ visions. He is quick to point out that he actually lives and works in a tiny house himself, through harsh, snowy winters and sizzling Southwest summers.

Parham will partner with you on the design process if you want to build it yourself (providing consultations if needed), or you can hire him to execute the construction. He confines his focus to highway legal tiny houses on wheels (THOW) with specific size limitations. Parham thrives on the design challenge presented by the smaller space, and in true tiny house movement spirit, opts for quality and affordability over quantity and complexity. Less space makes room for more life!

Sprout offers two 20-foot-long tiny homes on wheels or foundations as well as the very eco-conscious and attractive Waterhaus 34 modular unit, all crafted in their 14,000-square-foot controlled environment facility in La Junta. They are also happy to build your shell with roughed-in utilities.

Flex Pods are a new addition to Sprout’s product line — low maintenance, 100-200-square-foot units perfect for off-the-grid use as a potting shed; an artist, massage, or sauna studio; or an envy-of-the-neighborhood, back yard playhouse for little ones. The company is an active and engaged advocate, helping to persuade several Colorado cities to draft tiny-house-friendly ordinances.
