When a Saltbox is a Tiny Box

Dungan’s wee classic saltbox “lean-to” design maximizes space and beauty and is uncompromising in its quality–something rather remarkable when it comes to tiny home design. Thoughtful architectural design elements and high-end finishes (such as Summit Appliances® and Ply Gem® aluminum clad wood windows) make this custom teeny dream a true coup for folks who appreciate high quality.

    Love this tiny saltbox! Not exactly what I think of when I see the term saltbox, but this is a great design. I really like the ceilings and the charm of the interior too. It may be a bit cozy for two but perfect for one!

      Right? It’s sort of a box that slopes upward so there you go! I’m not cut out for tiny on a permanent basis, but I like the idea of vacationing in one!

    The tiny Salt Box is a charming little place. If a house, with that square footage, allowed me to live by and look at the water every day, perhaps it could work. The school bus house…with a family? As a mother, I would not play along. We downsized to 1800 sq ft from over 3000 upon retirement. I love my custom built home! It is perfect for two, with two extra bedrooms for guests, while not being overly large for two to live comfortably. For some reason, I am fascinated with tiny homes.
    Had a lovely day, out on the boat, celebrating a friend’s 60th birthday. The sun is shining, the winds calm and the wine is plenty. We are truly blessed!

      That’s what I was thinking too – if that saltbox is anywhere near Oahu’s North Shore – I’m in. So many of us love tiny homes even if they aren’t a good fit for us! Ha! Your day sounds lovely, and as the thunder rolls here (oy!), it is good to hear of sunny skies!

    Wow, that’s alot of stuff in such a small space, never thought that was possible! Perhaps one day i’ll make something similar! Thanks for sharing
