Michael Fuller is in the process of building a tiny cordwood home in Nova Scotia, Canada. He has incorporated delightful twists and turns to make his design elegant and intriguing.
The large gable end overhangs add protection from the prevailing wind and rain.
The stone foundation provides protection from snow, rain and moisture.
The “swoosh” in the walls gives the feeling of a wave cresting and rolling into shore.
The curved porch post, the hand-made door, the decoratively cut fascia and the attentive canine, all give a homey feel to this delightful little cottage. Coming in at less than 500 square feet, it has all the rubrics for an attractive, sturdy tiny home.
