Authentic Sourcing

The Materials.

We don't hide behind paint and primer. Every material we select is commercial-grade, sustainably harvested, and engineered for a 30-year lifespan.

The Envelope

Six layers
between you
and the elements.

Most tiny homes are glorified sheds. We build high-performance envelopes that exceed modern residential code. Our wall assemblies are designed to breathe where needed and seal where it counts.

Technical Insight

Airtight Integrity.

By using self-adhered membranes instead of stapled wraps, we eliminate 95% of air leakage, reducing your energy costs for the life of the home.

Deep Dive 01

Thermal
Integrity.

Tiny homes lose heat 3x faster than average houses due to surface-area-to-volume ratios. We counter this with continuous closed-cell foam that acts as both insulation and a structural adhesive.

Highway
Safety.

Your home will experience “Hurricane Category 3” wind speeds every time it moves at 65mph. Most tiny homes rack within months; ours are built on custom-welded steel foundations.

Zero-VOC
Environment.

In a 300 sq ft home, there is nowhere for toxins to hide. We eliminate the primary source of VOCs by selecting soy-based glues and plant-based wood finishes.

The standard

“If we wouldn't live in it with our own families, we won't build it for yours. Pure air is a building right, not an upgrade.”

Insulation

Batts settle and sag over thousands of highway miles; spray foam adds structural rigidity.

Air Barrier

Stapled wraps leak air at every fastener; self-adhered membranes create a true airtight pressure vessel.

Wood Glues

In 300 sq ft, off-gassing glues create a toxic micro-environment. We eliminate the primary source of VOCs.

Tiny homes are 'dead loads'—car haulers aren't designed for constant 15,000lb point-loads.
