Largest Legal Tiny Home on the Planet
My dear Earthlings, we have some exciting news to share! Our friend Alosha from the Bio-Veda Academy has just unveiled a groundbreaking bio architectural creation. It's a Construction Drawing Set for an Owner Built Home that magically bypasses the burdensome building authorities.
Alosha, using his ingenious design skills, has crafted a tiny home that defies the strict building codes while still offering ample space. Imagine, a whopping 500 sq ft of usable area while sitting on a mere 200 sq ft slab. Astounding, isn't it?
Now, let me reveal the secrets behind this marvel. Firstly, the roof cleverly bulges out, reaching a height of 23 feet – well within the limits set by most states. But that's not all! This bulge creates an additional 200 sq ft Flexi Net on the second floor, which, mind you, doesn't count as usable space according to the pesky building inspector.
Wait, there's more! The top floor, standing at a cozy 5 feet in height, is classified as an attic, granting you precious square footage that won't be counted either. It's like a hidden treasure of space!
To make things even better, Alosha is generously including an explanatory video and inviting you to join his Bio-Veda Academy group , where you can seek answers to any lingering questions.
Imagine yourself living in a spacious tiny home, free from the prying eyes of the building code enforcers, by the year 2024. Alosha has already built his own in 2023 and is currently enjoying the cozy winter inside.
And here's the cherry on top: If you purchase the blueprint and mention the code "ecominded," you can have the entire 10-page set for a mere 200 USD. Plus, you'll receive an extra page that reveals the secrets of building a Rocket Stove with a custom couch and geothermally preheated air. Say goodbye to plumbing and air pipes, while reveling in the warmth of your floor. Click on the link to acquire this unique DIY home plan: https://www.bioveda.co/plans
So, my friends, seize this opportunity and embark on the journey of creating your own unconventional abode. Together, let's build a future that defies the restrictions and embraces innovation!
Alosha Lynov, the author is answering some common questions:
1. How will this home bypass the building codes?
• 24 foot high roof thats within the limits of most states.
• The second floor gives us an additional 200 sq ft by use of flexi net which can be made into a comfy working / play space with just a few bean bags. This net DOES NOT classify as countable floor space, thus it’s on the house.
• The top 3rd floor which can be used as a bedroom is only 5 ft high and classifies as an attic gifting us an additional 170 sq ft of free square footage.
2. Can the middle floor be replaced by a conventional floor instead of a net?
Yes it can and will even add more stability to the arched structure. I would then recommend to remove the attic all together. The design will change slightly, as the home will no longer need to be so tall and conventional 18 foot/ 6 timber pieces an be used for the arches which will make the construction of the beams much simpler. I will provide a front view with new sizes based on the two floor set up.
3. Can this home be registered as a conventional home?
in my country we have even tighter restrictions than 25 foot height and 200 sq ft of floor space? Yes the home can be registered, you will then need to get an approval from a local engineer and an architect. There is also no need to go for such a small floor size of 14x14 feet or 4.25 x 4.25 metres, or making the home 24 feet / 7.3 m tall. A good starting size for a good sized home that is cost effective is 6 metres wide 6 deep and 7 high ( If you build a 1.2 m stem wall) due to the standard timber size of 18 ft or 6 m
4. Can I make my home longer in depth?
Yes of course you can, Vault does not loose it’s strength based on the length as each arch beam is self supporting. Please keep in mind that standard timber length is 18 foot or 6 metres, thus this is the most economical and fastest size to build. So you have the least amount of wastage.
5. What are the current inside dimensions floor sizes?
• Downstairs actual floor is 13x13 / 3.9x3.9 metres. The height is 7.2 feet or 2.37 m.
• Middle floor width is 14.5 x13 feet or 4.8 by 3.9 m with a height of 6.2 feet or 1.9 metres.
• Top Floor (Attic) is the same width and depth as the bottom floor with a maximum height of 5 feet or 1.5 metres
6. What about heating such home?
I am currently overwintering in exactly the same Gothic arch which I build in one season in 2023 for under 10K. I have a glass facade on the southern and northern side and to warm the space I’ve utilised a rocket stove with a super adobe couch. It has an underground fresh air intake that’s geothermally preheated in winter time, whilst giving you a warm floor without any plumbing or air pipes. Design and row by row instructions will be provided for you as well on a separate blueprint sheet.
7. What about Water, where can I shower and how to wash my dishes?
I will include an off the water grid trailer which will house your shower, toilet and plumbing. With my water course and an explanatory video you will be able to replicate it. When it comes to a home with no plumbing, the kitchen water can run to a bucket which can be taken manually to compost pile.
8. Can the home be dismountable?
Yes if you connect everything with screws. The largest pieces that will need to be transported are the 18 foot / 6 m long half arched beams.
9. What about electrical?
Once again there are hacks we can use to keep the home without registering such as a tool box with batteries, mini inverter with plugs and charges as well as lights on extensions. If you are registering a home wiring into Hyperadobe wall as extremely easy and we have done so in all our domes.
10.What about instructions to build this home?
During 2023 I recorded my entire Gothic arch build and I am currently working on a new video training which will guide you through, step-by-step, from how to build stem walls from Hyperadobe and how to lift heavy glass as well as doors 2 storeys up to installing roofing sheets without high tech equipment.
