This is another piece that although it is not directly about glamping, has its roots in the small build approach to living spaces.

Alek Lisefski was tired of paying a high rate of rent and decided to design his own living space that would be mortgage-free and not very expensive. The 31-year-old built a trailer home that cost around 30 thousand, which is not really much when you think about it.

The only trouble is that because the building is a measly 8ft by 20ft. Alek then had to use his entire creative prowess to figure out a way to make the best of the limited available space.

The Tiny Project, as it is called, was built by Lisefski so he could be with his girlfriend Anjali Krystofiak and their dog Anya. Alek cleverly built the trailer on a flatbed trailer so that he would avoid it being the maximum square footage required for buildings that are intended to be permanent structures.

As a result of just having the upfront cost and no mortgage, Alek and his girlfriend have been able to put their money to better uses for travel, leisure and health. He has said that he will be able to spend more time engaging with the local community, in nature, and outdoors in general.

Alek has said that he thinks that tiny houses and small builds are the way forward and are one way that the next generation will be able to get through the country’s current poor economic situation. With most tiny houses, Alek has said that although tiny houses can be built onto a proper foundation, the majority of people choose to use a flatbed trailer so that the house can become mobile.

Alek is just one of a growing number of people who are turning to sustainable housing all over the world. People are getting home builders everywhere to plan out reasonable but cute tiny house plans for them to live in, it’s becoming a new craze.

Another of the major benefits of having such a small build according to Alek is the fact that it means he has had to lead a more organized and simpler way of life because he just does not have the space for hundreds of possessions. Moving had been much simpler as well, as he only had a few appliances and boxes that needed to be moved by professionals from Www.suprememanvan.com. Although he has had to sacrifice much, he still has all the appliances and features that are necessary to make a building structure a home.

Alek painstakingly spent 7 months building the house, working most weekends and evenings on his own. It just shows what imagination and determination can do. The interior is furnished with a sustainable blue-stain beetle-kill ponderosa pine for the loft floor, walls and ceiling. He also made use of any available space he could for storage, building foldaway cupboards and shelves above doors and windows. Impressively the house has high-quality appliances like the compact combo washer and dryer, the propane-powered on-demand hot water heater, and the marine-style propane fueled range cooker. As you can imagine, stocking up on propane gas from a propane supplier such as nelsonpropane.com was a priority throughout the development of this property. Furthermore, there are a number of other companies that provide a variety of supplies and propane products for a wide range of energy requirements.

Towards the end of the build, he had some extra help from people to finish it in time for winter. He reckons that the whole thing took around a year in total from the research stage, through to the planning, designing, and eventually building stages.

Along with the sustainable wood used for the interior, the house is also very green thanks to the passive solar design with 10 windows and a glass front door that will allow much light to shine through as possible and keep it warm. Alek has plans to further improve the sustainability and greenness of the property when he finds somewhere to park it in a permanent location he wants to add solar panels and a water collection system to make it self-sustaining.

He has said that he hoped his little house will inspire others to choose the same way of living, which is why we chose to share this story on Discover Glamping.
