Magical Dwellings: Tiny Texas Houses in Focus

The tiny house movement can fairly still be called a recent one, but it can no longer be called new. By now, we've all seen the tv shows and coffee table books and Sunday edition newspaper articles. We've admired the photos of these cute little architectural marvels on Pinterest.

And chances are, among all of the tiny house media you've admired, you've almost certainly seen a house designed and built by Brad Kittel and his Tiny Texas Houses. As you'll see in this photo tour by our own Caleb Kerr, there's good reason for the attention: it's not just that the Tiny Texas Houses are charming; it's that they're extraordinary, as well. Tiny Texas Houses are distinguished by the special materials used in their construction, and the ingenuity in their achievement of space where little space is otherwise available. There's a term for this achievement, you'll discover below, and the result is, in a word, magical.
