Willamette Farmhouse – JUST B TINY

Brenda Just B Tiny NW Mountaineer

I do love my tiny house and feel I have been waiting all my life for this movement and style of living. It feels sturdy and cozy, is made for four seasons, has all my priority appliances, is aesthetically pleasing and a definite conversation piece, as everyone stops by to say hello and get a tour.

Working with the team headed up by Nathan Light Watson and Designer, we created the design using their model, choosing appliances and costuming other elements from long distance. I was in Novato, CA and they are in Albany, OR. Designed mostly by emails and drawings using Dropbox and phone meetings in 3 months.

This is a terrific company! Everyone should have their tiny house built here.

Christyn Modica 1/2020 – The owner, Nathan, has been wonderful. He is dedicated to what he does, and serving his mission of inexpensive housing options

Michael C., 2018 – I was blown away by the craftsmanship and attention to detail I saw in these wonderful, artful and creative small homes. Just stunning. I’ve found Nathan to be professional, cheerful, friendly and very helpful, as are his workers. Highly recommended!

Lisa Lamping 12/19 – I have been in a working relationship with Nathan Light Watson of Tiny Smart House for the last 5 months on our “TinyTel” motel project. Nathan and I have collaborated on this project from day one and I can honestly say that I would not be where I am with regard to the complicated process if Nathan had not stepped up to help me navigate thru a good part of it.

I called him to discuss my concept, drove to his plant in Albany to see his operation, was so impressed, I gave him a deposit to “consult” with me on that same trip. What Nathan did from this point on was to guide me thru many of the essential steps to get this project off the ground. He spent countless hours helping to develop a financial perfoma and he communicated with me on the overall process. The performa was essential to the lender application process. It was so professionally done, it helped to legitimized me in the eyes of the lender.

I am excited to be partnering with TSH on this project and have confidence that Nathan will be there for me all along the way. He has shown me he has integrity, commitment, and is a person of his word.

“I can’t say enough good things about working with Nathan and the Tiny Smart House team. They made sure every detail of my tiny house was thought out and built to perfection.

The quality of Tiny Smart House’s work can be observed in the woodwork of the vaulted ceiling. The ceiling makes you feel like you’re inside a cathedral. (Just your own, tiny cathedral. And honestly, it doesn’t feel that tiny.) The inside of tiny house itself is richly textured with excellent carpentry. The kitchen and bathroom boast premium fixtures and appliances. And honestly, it doesn’t feel tiny.

The Tiny Smart House builders approached everything with enthusiasm, creativity, and skill. Everything was custom. Nothing was impossible. For example, Nathan and his chief carpenter designed a built-in piece of furniture that almost defies physics. They made the towing tongue detachable (I’d never even heard of that). And they helped me think through the best layout for the windows, doors and utilities. Nathan even checked out my location and the orientation of the space to come up with the most light efficient and wind efficient use of windows and doors. We had a really great time coming up with everything.

Nathan also helped to establish a budget and stick to it. We chose certain places we could save money, and certain places where it’s worth it to go premium. (A little granite goes a long way!) Everything was delivered as promised, on time and budget. And my tiny house is an absolute dream. Thanks, Nathan!”

WILLAMETTE FARMHOUSE

We couldn’t beat the customization for the price this company offers. We love that we got 90% of what we asked for in our 38″ gooseneck model. Having two private lofts was a dealmaker for us raising kids, and I can report that the lofts insulate us from each other’s sounds. As with any custom build, it’s important to prioritize what’s essential, and what’s pie-in-the-sky.

The best recommendation I can make if you are considering a tiny lifestyle change is to give yourself a reasonable timeline, and work with your builder to evaluate and adjust your deadlines regularly. We were thankful to have enough of a buffer that we could move into our house and get settled 90 days before our baby was born. Our builder took that deadline seriously, too, and it made all the difference.
