Brooklyn's Own Tiny House Movement
Poking around Windsor Terrace the other day, we spied this cabin-like building that sprouted between an aluminum siding-clad single-family house, and an aluminum siding-clad apartment house. Much has been written about the growing tiny house movement in America, but while New Yorkers are famous for making due in small spaces, we don’t often see them…
Poking around Windsor Terrace the other day, we spied this cabin-like building that sprouted between an aluminum siding-clad single-family house, and an aluminum siding-clad apartment house. Much has been written about the growing tiny house movement in America, but while New Yorkers are famous for making due in small spaces, we don’t often see them as freestanding homes. This one is 666-square-feet, on a 2,430-square-foot lot, and may we say it is adorable?

Lots of small houses in Gerritsen Beach.
I admire the concept, but I think that thing is hideous. Brown siding doesn’t look good on any house. Looks so much worse on that thing.
This house is very well-maintained, nice little garden out front and pretty big garden in back. It’s owned by a guy who lives there with his teenage sons. It always makes me smile and my 2 yo calls it the “little itty bitty house”
I wonder if Groundskeeper Willie is enjoying all this publicity?
@traditionalmod: I used to live right by there! Also lots of cute cottages throughout West Hollywood, though they don’t quite qualify as tiny. Love that area.
I’m kind of laughing at the idea of buying a tinyhouse and putting two more stories on it. Kind of defeats the purpose.
more promoting my own resume (sorry), but, yeah, here’s a story on the bungalows at rockaway from a few years back:

“I’m a sukkah for tiny houses.”
suffering sukkahtash, traditionalmod!
