Build-n-Share Challenge #23
#23 Think Tiny This Week’s Challenge Specifics: Rushing in the office, uncharacteristically late after a very hectic night finishing up final touches on the shipping container homes, you smile gratefully at Rose as she hands you a steaming mug of English Breakfast as you rush in, headed for your desk. "The Franklins are you first appointment. They'll be here any minute."You nod as you locate their file on your desk and begin scanning it, sloshing tea in your haste. Rose hands you a towel to mop up just as the front bell chimes. "Yipes! Give me a few moments them show them in," you tell Rose, frantically trying to straighten your desk and salvage the tea-dampened file.
Rose discretely closes the door, and you hear her warmly greeting the clients and offering them tea. A few minutes later, she introduces Julie and Taylor Franklin, a young, make that very young, couple. Julie smiles shyly and takes a seat while Taylor gives you a firm handshake in greeting.
After some small talk in which you learn the young pair has been living in Taylor's parents' basement, you get down to business. The Franklins inform you that they a small inheritance from Julie's grandparents that they want to make the most of. "Mr. and Mrs. Franklin have given us a small plot of land," Julie adds, smiling at her husband who grins back at her.
"It's small, says Taylor. Just 20x15. But plenty big for the kind of house we want."
You nod as you take notes. 20x15 is small, but you've worked on lots the size before. "It's all about maximizing the space you have," you remark.
"That's exactly what we want to do," says Julie excitedly as she begins to show you pictures she has been collecting. You are momentarily taken aback, thinking you are looking at playhouses for children and not full-fledged grown-up homes.
"Why, they're tiny!" you exclaim in surprise. The Franklins grin back at you in delight, and you realize that they are part of the growing number of people who are choosing to forgo the trend of building big and opting to live in tiny homes.
"Well, this will certainly be interesting" you think to yourself as roll up your sleeves and get to work helping Julie and Taylor design their tiny dream home.
