This 280 square foot house is located in Portland Oregon, but the inspiration to build it originated in Japan — a culture of people well-known for maximizing small spaces in a beautiful and simplistic way.
The creator of this home, Chris Heininge, became a Christian Missionary at the age of 17, and he spent the next 20 years in Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, and India. While in Japan, Chris was able to build one house and remodel others. He was influenced by the concept of “tiny living”.
When Chris and his family returned to Aurora, Oregon in 1995, he became a General Contractor and built and remodeled many homes with his parents and brothers. With the encouragement of his childhood friend, Maurice, he was able to build his first Tiny House on river frontage in 1999, and the 2nd one in 2006.
